Hover event madness?

[justdan]

Hey guys,

Quick question. I’m working with some hover events on page I’m building locally. Things look great, but, I notice on my hovers that every time my cursor passes over the element the event fires and sometimes can look quite sporadic. Example being lets say i move my cursor over the element 6 times quickly and even though I’m no longer hovered on the element it will still fire 6 times. What is a good approach to combat this action? Sorry if this wasn’t explained very well and as always, thank you all for your time and comments :)

I haven’t done anything like this, but just off the top of my mind, here is my solution http://jsfiddle.net/788TC/1/

If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Edit:
Come to think of it, that wasn’t the greatest solution (not that this is :) ) but you can check this out too:

Actually if you play around I am sure you can find a far better solution, please share it if you do :)

Might want to look into hoverIntent: http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html
