hoverintent
hoverintent is a reworking of Brian Cherne's jQuery plugin in plain javascript. It has no dependencies.
It's goal is to determine a user's intention when hovering over an element by triggering a mouseover event when the cursor position has slowed down enough.
Check out the demo to see how it works in action.

Basic usage
Adding hoverintent to an element
<script src='hoverintent.min.js'></script>
<script>
var el = document.getElementById('element-id');
hoverintent(el,
function() {
// Handler in
}, function() {
// Handler out
});
</script>Removing hoverintent from an element
<script src='hoverintent.min.js'></script>
<script>
var el = document.getElementById('element-id');
// Save a reference to the method
var hoverListener = hoverintent(el,
function() {
// Handler in
}, function() {
// Handler out
});
// Remove hoverintent listeners
hoverListener.remove();
</script>Custom options
You can adjust mouse sensitivity or the length of time a mouse over/out event is fired:
<script src='hoverintent.min.js'></script>
<script>
var opts = {
timeout: 500,
interval: 50
};
var el = document.getElementById('element-id');
hoverintent(el,
function() {
// Handler in
}, function() {
// Handler out
}).options(opts);
</script>| Setting | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sensitivity | sensitivity: 7 |
The value (in pixels) the mouse cursor should not travel beyond while hoverintent waits to trigger the mouseover event. |
| interval | interval: 100 |
The length of time (in milliseconds) hoverintent waits to re-read mouse coordinates. |
| timeout | timeout: 0 |
The length of time (in milliseconds) before the mouseout event is fired. |
| handleFocus | handleFocus: false |
Adds onOver/onOut callbacks to keyboard navigation during blur and focus events |
Ender support
