JQuery Plugin - HoverIntent
My coding partner in crime Tony Milne pointed me in the direction of the HoverIntent JQuery plugin today whilst we were attempting to delay the appearance of Tipsy (previously mentioned here) tooltips.
HoverIntent attempts to improve JQuery’s “hover” event by delaying the event until it appears the user is actually actively trying to hover on an item.
Extract from the homepage:
…instead of immediately calling the onMouseOver function, it waits until the user’s mouse slows down enough before making the call.
