[jQuery] Re: Settimeout on Function

The basic syntax for delaying a function using setTimeout is this:

setTimeout(function() {
// ...code here executes when the timeout is complete
}, 2000 /* Length of timeout, in milliseconds */);

so for your example, something like this should work:

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#barcode span").hover(
function () {
$(this).addClass("barover");
},
function () {
setTimeout(function() {
$(this).removeClass("barover");
}, 2000);
}
);
});
