title: How do I check if the mouse is over an element in jQuery?
body: <p>Is there a quick &amp; easy way to do this in jQuery that I'm missing?</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to use the mouseover event because I'm already using it for something else.  I just need to know if the mouse is over an element at a given moment.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to do something like this, if only there was an "IsMouseOver" function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function hideTip(oi) {
      setTimeout(function() { if (!IsMouseOver(oi)) $(oi).fadeOut(); }, 100);
  }
  </code></pre>
