Hi I have been searching for a way to not fire off the displaying of a
popup/modal box on mouse over.  I have found a couple things that get
me halfway, but I am in a jam and need to get this done ASAP.  I am
hoping someone could help:

Basically I have a list of links that are titles of publications like


<a href="#">Title 1</a>
<a href="#">Title 2</a>
<a href="#">Title 3</a>
<a href="#">Title 4</a>
<a href="#">Title 5</a>
<a href="#">Title 6</a>
<a href="#">Title 7</a>

When a user hovers over the link to that title a small popup will
appear with information regarding this title.  I have all that working
fine.  What I can figure out is, how to delay the popup if the user
only briefly mouseover the link.  Basically I want the popup only to
appear if the user stops on the link for a certain amount of time
(like a half a second).  If you ar familiar with the Gmail UI, I want
the effect that they have implemented when you mouse over a contact in
you left sidebar.


I'll continue looking into this, but if anyone has any thoughts, I'd
appreciate it
