How do i check after .hover has started in jQuery that the mouse is still hovering?
<p>I have li boxes that make this jQuery call when an end user hovers on them with his cursor:</p>

<pre><code>$('.boxgrid.slidedown').hover(function(){
         $(".cover", this).stop().animate({top:'-150px'},{queue:false,duration:300});
        }, function() {
            $(".cover", this).stop().animate({top:'4px'},{queue:false,duration:300});
        });
</code></pre>

<p>Now i want to wait half a second after the user points his cursor so i could stall
the slidedown effect. if the mouse is still hovering then the slidedown will continue, if not then nothing should happen.</p>

<p>i tried using settimeout() without any luck. thank you.</p>
