Imagine this
When a user moves the mouse over a certain div (mouseover) on your page you want to do some things 1. fadeOut a graphic in that div to 50% 2. Make a button in that div appear (show) 3. Manipulate the button's 3 states (my wonderful 3 state button gizmo) 4. When the user clicks the mouse call function A and reverse the above, fadeIn the graphic back to 100%, hide the button. 5. If the user moves the mouse out of the div area (mouseout) then reverse the above, fadeIn the graphic back to 100%, hide the button. Sounds easy right? Well it's not. Why? Because of the way jQuery queues up the events, the a mouseover and a mouseout events interact in such a way that the whole process goes bananas, there is a great deal of flickering of the graphics when you move the mouse because it is sending mouseover messages. What I need to do is to have it act more like hover, which avoids these issues. Except for one problem. I am using a button over the graphic that uses hover also. So the two processes fight eachother. I need a way to say jQuery - I need you to do something a bit different. Respond to my mouseover as usual but then don't look at mouseover for a while. That way I could process the other events. Any ideas on how to do this. I thought perhaps using a call back would help but that seems to just let me control one thing finishing before another starts which is not my issue. Thanks Mitch
