hoverIntent is similar to jQuery's built-in "hover" function except that instead of firing the onMouseOver event immediately, hoverIntent checks to see if the user's mouse has slowed down (beneath the sensitivity threshold) before firing the onMouseOver event. hoverIntent r6 // 2011.02.26 // jQuery 1.5.1+ hoverIntent is currently available for use in all personal or commercial projects under both MIT and GPL licenses. This means that you can choose the license that best suits your project, and use it accordingly.
