Mouseleave triggered by click

Question

I have an absolutely-positioned div, and I\'m trying to keep track of when the mouse moves over it, and when the mouse leaves. Unfortunately clicking on the text in the box

Answer 1

var trackmouseup = null;

$('.box').mouseup(function(event){
    if(trackmouseup){
        clearTimeout(trackmouseup);
    }
    trackmouseup = setTimeout(function(){
        trackmouseup = null;
    }, 2); //it must be 2ms or more

});


$('.box').mouseleave(function(event){
    //if this event is triggered by click, there must be a mouse up event triggered 2ms ago
    if(trackmouseup){
        return;
    }

    //to do something
});
