I don't know how your page is structured: but it is possible to give both elements a single common ancestor (which is itself not visible), then you could put the mouseout handler on that item. It would fire if a mouseout occurred on either child.
as for creating a timeout event: the window.setTimeout function returns a value. if you set a timeout on mouseout, and save that value in a variable, you could call window.clearTimeout with the value when you mouseover either of the elements. oliver On Jul 28, 10:16 pm, mcraig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have some navigation that works by clicking on one dom element and > animating another.
