How do I check if the mouse is over an element in jQuery

0 votes

I don't want to use the mouseover event because I'm already using it for something else. I just need to know if the mouse is over an element at a given moment.

I'd like to do something like this, if only there was an "IsMouseOver" function:

function hideTip(oi) {
    setTimeout(function() { if (!IsMouseOver(oi)) $(oi).fadeOut(); }, 100);
}

Hello @kartik,

Use this code:

$("someelement").mouseenter(function(){
    clearTimeout($(this).data('timeoutId'));
    $(this).find(".tooltip").fadeIn("slow");
}).mouseleave(function(){
    var someElement = $(this),
        timeoutId = setTimeout(function(){
            someElement.find(".tooltip").fadeOut("slow");
        }, 650);
    //set the timeoutId, allowing us to clear this trigger if the mouse comes back over
    someElement.data('timeoutId', timeoutId); 
});

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
