Put a listener on the mouseover event and use setTimeout to call the
function. If there's a mouseout or a mouseover on some other related
element before the event fires, cancel the timeout, otherwise let it
run. You can also do the same for accidental mouseout events so the
cursor can go off the edge for a short time before the mouseout fires.
