Here is a jQuery slide function I have applied to a div on hover in order to slide a button down.
It works fine except that now everytime someone moves in and out o
var time_id;
$("#NewsStrip").hover(
function () {
if (time_id) {
clearTimeout(time_id);
}
time_id = setTimeout(function () {
$("#SeeAllEvents").stop(true, true).slideDown('slow');
}, 2000);
}, function () {
if (time_id) {
clearTimeout(time_id);
}
time_id = setTimeout(function () {
$("#SeeAllEvents").stop(true, true).slideUp('slow');
}, 2000);
});
You need to set a timer on mouseover and clear it either when the slide is activated or on mouseout, whichever occurs first:
var timeoutId;
$("#NewsStrip").hover(function() {
if (!timeoutId) {
timeoutId = window.setTimeout(function() {
timeoutId = null; // EDIT: added this line
$("#SeeAllEvents").slideDown('slow');
}, 2000);
}
},
function () {
if (timeoutId) {
window.clearTimeout(timeoutId);
timeoutId = null;
}
else {
$("#SeeAllEvents").slideUp('slow');
}
});
See it in action.
