here’s a question..

say you have the delay inside a mouseleave event. how do you clear the delay from being triggered on a mouseenter event? as in, say you have a delay on mouseleave and then mouseenter the div again but with the way the plugin is setup now… it still hides it..

Sweet, just what I was looking for. Will put a link in my source code to an upcoming WordPress theme release.

James, this plugin is very useful, but i find a serious bug, but may it’s a problem of jQuery.
I have a empty #notice div to put messages inside.
I have links at the left of checkboxes to edit each element of the list.

So each link without js works to edit each element.
If JS is on, when i click these link select the checbox of the element asignated on his href.

I have another links (with the same class .action) to edit all the selected checboxes.
If are no checboxes selected, shows an alert.

$("a.action").click(function() {
	var id = /[0-9]+$/.exec(this.href);
	var action = /edit|remove/.exec(this.href)[0];
	if (id != null)
		$("#item-selected-" + id[0]).attr('checked',true);
 
	if (id == null && $(":checkbox").is(':checked') == false)
	{
		$('#notice').hide('fast').html('Alert!').show('slow').delay(5000).hide('slow');
		return false;
	}
}

Well, the problem is that when the alert meesage still visible (before the end of the delay), the another links don’t work well. It’s like the variable id isn’t assignated.
I think that is because jQuery is not asynchronous and if the delay code don’t end, can’t run the another code.
Sorry for my english, and thanks for your time!

Hey, Mike. I was surprised when I saw your comment in my mailbox. Actually I wasn’t aware that my plugin didn’t work with jQuery 1.3, I just haven’t tried to use it on it yet.

I should probably refer users over here for Jame’s updated version.

Thank you very much! Nice work.
P.S. Some time ago I’ve used a delay plugin from EvanBot.com, but with jQuery 1.3 it doesn’t work.
