BlameThePixel!

I'm trying to create multiple delay times with overlib. I want a long delay time for user names and a short delay time for map files. Only problem is, you can only set one delay time. So that means I must create some js to create a new delay time.

Readme told me to use setTimeout, but the overlibs appear if you leave ur mouse on the link for a milisecond or 5 seconds. Which is a horrible bug.

Anyone *cough cough* CB *cough cough* know some other js that could fix this?

Ok here's my attempt to make a delayed overlib appear:

Link

Here's some code for it that delays 1000ms:
<script type=text/javascript><!--
function doOLib(stuff) {
return overlib(stuff, CAPTION, '', BORDER, '0');
}
//--></script>
<A HREF="viewprofile.php?name=/Bloopy" onmouseover="setTimeout('doOLib(\'WOOOT HELLO CHARLIE I THINK IT WORKS\')',1000)" onmouseout='return nd();'>Link</a>

you should be able to modify it if you wanna pass the caption as a parameter and such

Nope, it's the same bug as the timeout thing readme gave. Try hovering over that link multiple times.

Well, I hovered all five links about five times each, and they all took the same amount of time to appear (just a bit over 1 second).

How can there be a bug if the function isn't called for a whole second C1? Here's one that takes 10 seconds:

Hold yer mouse here

It's working for the rest of us. I edited C1's post to remove the doOLib function because doOLib is already defined in my first post in this thread.

Well, it's somewhat working on IE. It appeared after 10 seconds, but now it won't go away.

C1: Maybe you should listen slower, since he's somewhat proved it was possible .

EXACTLY! That's the bug. It won't go away sometimes if you run over the link quickly a lot of times.
There needs to be a way to delete the overlib as soon as you lift your mouse off the link.

ahhh, i get this bug. But only if i try to get it
and i don't allways get it when i do try.
I never get it when i don't try.

The Skull got it when he didn't try to get it and same with me.

i noticed that if you quickly put your mouse over the link(when you have this bug) and then hover over a normal link, with no overlib, after 1second, you'll get the"wooot hello charlie i think it works"message....

Yep, that seems to be what happens for me. But it still takes the another second of hovering over a different link for it to happen (which is the same delay in the overlib).

C1 you should've said what bug you were talking about in the first place so I could fix it! :P Here's my attempt:

Link With 2 Sec Delay That Cancels If You MouseOut
Link With 2 Sec Delay That Cancels If You MouseOut

Ok I think that's working, here's the code:

<script type=text/javascript><!--
var olibool = true;
function doOLibDelay(stuff) {
olibool = true;
return overlib(stuff, CAPTION, '', BORDER, '0');
}
//--></script>

<A HREF="viewprofile.php?name=/Bloopy" onmouseover="if(olibool){olibtime = setTimeout('doOLibDelay(\'WOOOT HELLO CHARLIE I

THINK IT WORKS\')',2000);olibool = false}" onmouseout='if(!olibool){clearTimeout(olibtime);olibool = true}return nd();'>Link

With 2 Sec Dely That Cancels If You MouseOut</a>

Thanks Bloopy! You're the greatest

Well it took him 6 edits...
