the logic should be something like:
var timeInSecs = 0.8;
var mouseEventCaller;
onHoverFunctionInit () {
clearTimeout(mouseEventCaller);
var timeout = Math.ceil(timeInSecs*1000);
mouseEventCaller = setTimeout("onHoverFunctionExec()", timeout);
}
onHoverFunctionExec() {
alert("You have hovered for" + timeInSecs + " seconds.");
}
When you run over your objects with the mouse they call
onHoverFunctionInit. It 1) Clears any previous timer and then 2) sets
a timer to call the function you really want executed in X secs (.8th
of sec in example).
