   1 /**
   2 * hoverIntent is similar to jQuery's built-in "hover" function except that
   3 * instead of firing the onMouseOver event immediately, hoverIntent checks
   4 * to see if the user's mouse has slowed down (beneath the sensitivity
   5 * threshold) before firing the onMouseOver event.
   6 *
   7 * hoverIntent r5 // 2007.03.27 // jQuery 1.1.2+
   8 * <http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html>
   9 *
  10 * hoverIntent is currently available for use in all personal or commercial
  11 * projects under both MIT and GPL licenses. This means that you can choose
  12 * the license that best suits your project, and use it accordingly.
  13 *
  14 * // basic usage (just like .hover) receives onMouseOver and onMouseOut functions
  15 * $("ul li").hoverIntent( showNav , hideNav );
  16 *
  17 * // advanced usage receives configuration object only
  18 * $("ul li").hoverIntent({
  19 *       sensitivity: 7, // number = sensitivity threshold (must be 1 or higher)
  20 *       interval: 100,   // number = milliseconds of polling interval
  21 *       over: showNav,  // function = onMouseOver callback (required)
  22 *       timeout: 0,   // number = milliseconds delay before onMouseOut function call
  23 *       out: hideNav    // function = onMouseOut callback (required)
  24 * });
  25 *
  26 * @param  f  onMouseOver function || An object with configuration options
  27 * @param  g  onMouseOut function  || Nothing (use configuration options object)
