MM_menu delay dropdown onmouseover

[pgmr777]

onMouseOver="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_...)"
Uses mm_menu.js, apparently produced from Dreamweaver and/or Fireworks, I just inherited the html and javascript.

Anybody know any way to delay the menu dropdowns during onmouseover a bit so that when you pass over the menu but don't stop on it, it doesn't open? I want it to only open when the mouse cursor is on it for more than say half a second. Problem is users are zipping around the screen with the mouse and whenever it passes over it even very rapidly the menu opens...annoying. I tried a javascript pause, and that works however it still opens after the pause, and the mouse is nowhere near it then. I need it to only open if the mouse stops and hovers on it.
Thanks.

Have a look at the setTimeout() function. See

for examples etc.
