How to delay this function

[hismightiness]

I have a function I have been working on and I want it to execute a couple seconds after it is called:

function showHide2(id, newClass, dispProp) {
var showID=document.getElementById(id);
showID.style.visibility=newClass;
showID.style.display=dispProp;
}

This function is called from onmouseout. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

onMouseOut="var sTime = setTimeout('showHide2()', 1000);"

Your function will need this also:


clearTimeout(sTime);

Can I still pass variables with your solution?

My mouseover consists of this:

onmouseout="showHide2('cellGen2','hidden','none');"

onMouseOut="var sTime = setTimeout('showHide2(\'cellGen2\', \'hidden\', \'none\'', 1000);"

Ahhh... I was trying a similar thing, only with "\\" instead of "\" - DUH! Thanks a million!

You're welcome.
