Try this code
if($('.to_hide').css("display") == "block")
{
$(".to_hide").mouseout(function(){
setTimeout(hidepara,10000);
})
}
function hidepara()
{ $(".to_hide").hide();
}

I added mouseleave so in case the mouse was over it when first function fires up, it will set timer on mouseleave.
jQuery:
$("button").click(function() {
$("div").slideToggle("slow");
});
setTimeout(hidepanel, 4000);
function hidepanel(){
if($('div').is(':hover') === false){ $('div').slideToggle(); }
}
$('div').mouseleave(function(){ setTimeout(hidepanel, 4000); });
This is a very simple solution. Idea is, if you don't move your mouse over the div-container.. it will slideUp() the container itself in 2000ms (I put 2000ms, because its boring to wait 10sec).

This is the paragraph to end all paragraphs. You should feel <em>lucky</em> to have seen such a paragraph in your life. Congratulations!

$(document).ready(function () {
var mouseover_to = setTimeout(function () {

$('div').mouseover(function () {
clearTimeout(mouseover_to);
});
});

setTimeout()
and sets it as resource to mouseover_to
variable.div
then the countdown will be canceled with clearTimeout()
, thanks to the help of the resource mouseover_to
