Come to think of it I implemented in a different context where the
mouseover
and mouseout where handy (the method still works)

The point of extensions for me is only rarely using them the way they
come its having a code base that is editable

 Adding them to the infobox object in

That is what the delay based close takes care of if you get a mouseout
then very shortly a mouseover the mouseout never gets acted on... ie
it stays open. like you want....

Do you have a page up showing this state.

enough delay for the user to get the mouse from the marker in to the
window

A mouse over opens the window AND cancels the delaidClosing
