javascript - Jquery delay execution of script

Question

Having the following:

$('#navMain .nav1').hover(function () {
    $(this).addClass('hover');
    if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 7) 
        $('select').css('visibility', 'hidden');
}, function () {
    $(this).removeClass('hover');
    if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 7) 
        $('select').css('visibility', 'visible');
});

I need to delay the executing of addClass('hover') after hovering over $('#navMain .nav1') element.

I've tried this but it doesn't work:

$(this).delay().addClass('hover');
if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 7) 
    $('select').delay().css('visibility', 'hidden');

thanks

Answer 1

setTimeout( function(){

  // your stuff here

}, 500); // delay 500 ms

with your code:

$('#navMain .nav1').hover(

  function () {
    setTimeout( function(){
        $(this).addClass('hover');
        if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 7) $('select').css('visibility', 'hidden');
    }, 500); // delay 500 ms
  }, 

  function () {
    $(this).removeClass('hover');
    if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 7) $('select').css('visibility', 'visible');
  }

);
