Delay jQuery fadeIn due to unwanted behavior

How do I make my .right-menu DIV to fadein only after a couple of moments the mouse is hovering its parent .right-menu-background ? The thing is that when you move the cursor quickly in and out, .right-menu DIV is reappearing a lot of times after.
How do I delay animation for few ms?
Here's the code:
$(function(){
$(".right-menu-background").hover(function(){
$(this).find(".right-menu").fadeIn();
}
,function(){
$(this).find(".right-menu").fadeOut();
}
);
});

a easy fix is to use .stop()
$(function () {
$(".right-menu-background").hover(function () {
$(this).find(".right-menu").stop(true, true).fadeIn();
}, function () {
$(this).find(".right-menu").stop(true, true).fadeOut();
});
});
using timer
$(function () {
$(".right-menu-background").hover(function () {
var el = $(this).find(".right-menu");
var timer = setTimeout(function(){
el.stop(true, true).fadeIn();
}, 500);
el.data('hovertimer', timer);
}, function () {
var el = $(this).find(".right-menu");
clearTimeout(el.data('hovertimer'))
el.stop(true, true).fadeOut();
});
});

Use the stop() function in front of fading calls ...stop(true, true)
With those two parameters set to true, the animation queue is cleared and the last animation is played this will get ride of the weird effect
$(this).find(".right-menu").stop(true, true).fadeIn();

Use .delay() function.
Here is the code:
$(function(){
$(".right-menu-background").hover(function(){
$(this).find(".right-menu").delay(800).fadeIn(400);
},function(){
$(this).find(".right-menu").fadeOut(400);
});
});

some issues with mouseenter and mouseleave functions

I have this function:
$(".insidediv").hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function(){
$(".hideimg").fadeOut(function(){
$(".insidediv").fadeIn();
});
});
$(".floater").mouseleave(function(){
$(".insidediv").fadeOut(function(){
$(".hideimg").fadeIn();
});
});
the function built to make a little animation, when you 'mouseenter' the div the picture I have there is hidden and than a few text show up.
it works fine if i move the mouse slowly. but if i move my mouse fast over the div the function getting confused or something and it shows me both '.insidediv and .hideimg,
how can i fixed that little problem so it wont show me both? thanks!

You need to reset the opacity, because fadeIn and fadeOut uses this css property for animation. Just stopping the animation is not enough.
This should work:
var inside = $(".insidediv"),
img = $(".hideimg");
duration = 500;
inside.hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function () {
if (inside.is(":visible"))
inside.stop().animate({ opacity: 1 }, duration);
img.stop().fadeOut(duration, function () {
inside.fadeIn(duration);
});
});
$(".floater").mouseleave(function () {
if (img.is(":visible"))
img.stop().animate({ opacity: 1 }, duration);
inside.stop().fadeOut(duration, function () {
img.fadeIn(duration);
});
});
I just introduced the duration variable to get animations of equal length.
Here is a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/eau7M/1/ (modification from previous comment on other post)

try this:
var $insideDiv = $(".insidediv");
var $hideImg = $(".hideimg");
$insideDiv.hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function(){
$hideImg.finish().fadeOut(function(){
$insideDiv.fadeIn();
});
}).mouseleave(function(){
$insideDiv.finish().fadeOut(function(){
$hideImg.fadeIn();
});
});

This will solve your issue:
var inside = $(".insidediv"),
img = $(".hideimg");
inside.hide();
$(".floater").hover(function () {
img.stop(true).fadeOut('fast',function () {
inside.stop(true).fadeIn('fast');
});
},function () {
inside.stop(true).fadeOut('fast',function () {
img.stop(true).fadeIn('fast');
});
});
Updated Fiddle

You need to set the 'mouseleave' function when the mouse is still inside the
'floater' div.
Try this (i have tried it on the jsfiddle you setup and it works):
.....
<div class="floater">Float</div>
<div class="insidediv">inside</div>
<div class="hideimg">img</div>
var inside = $('.insidediv'),
img = $('.hideimg');
inside.hide();
$('.floater').mouseenter( function() {
img.stop().hide();
inside.show( function() {
$('.floater').mouseleave( function() {
inside.hide();
img.fadeIn();
inside.stop(); // inside doesn't show when you hover the div many times fast
});
});
});

Fading Latest News Ticker

I'm looking to get the most efficient way to produce a latest news ticker.
I have a ul which can hold any number of li's and all I need to to loop through them fading one in, holding it for 5 seconds and then fading it out, one li at a time. The list is displaying with an li height of 40px and the well it displays in is also 40px which with overflow: hidden which produces the desired effect. Also to be able to hold the li in place if the cursor hovers over it while its being displayed would be great to build it.
I know there is the jQuery ticker plugin that is widely used (ala the old BBC style) but I've tried to use it and it seems so bulky for the simplicity I need and it plays havoc with the styling I use.
I've been using this so far:
function tickOut(){
$('#ticker li:first').animate({'opacity':0}, 1000, function () {
$(this).appendTo($('#ticker')).css('opacity', 1); });
}
setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
But it doesn't actually fade in the next li so the effect is a bit messy.
If someone could suggest some alternations to help produce the effect I need that would be so useful.
Thanks

hide() and call fadein() the element after it becomes the top of the list.
function tickOut(){
$('#ticker li:first').animate({'opacity':0}, 1000, function () {
$(this).appendTo($('#ticker'))
$('#ticker li:first').hide()
$('#ticker li:first').fadeIn(1000)
$('#ticker li:not(:first)').css('opacity', '1')
});
}
setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
see:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/lHdGb

I woudl do it like that:
function tickOut(){
$('#ticker li:first').animate({'opacity':0}, 1000, function () {
$(this).appendTo($('#ticker')).css('opacity', 1); });
}
var interval;
$(function() {
interval = setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
$('#ticker').hover(function() {
if(interval)
clearInterval(interval);
$('#ticker li:first').stop();
$('#ticker li:first').css('opacity', 1).stop();
}, function(){
interval = setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
});
});
See $('#ticker').hover which clears interval and stops animation and returns opacity to 1 when mouse got inside UL (may be changed to do that when only some special element inside LI is under mouse) and starts it again once it left that UL. Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/KFyzq/6/

Auto hide element by jquery - code not work

I have an element in aspx page with class= "._aHide" it carrying a message, And it is shown repeatedly.
<div id="Message1" class="._aHide" runat="server" visible="true"><p>My Message</p></div>
aspx server side elements not created when page load if it's visible property = true.
I need to hide this div after 7 seconds of show it, unless mouse over.
I created this code
$(document).ready(function () {
var hide = false;
$("._aHide").hover(function () {
clearTimeout(hide);
});
$("._aHide").mouseout(function () {
hide = setTimeout(function () { $("._aHide").fadeOut("slow") }, 7000);
hide;
});
$("._aHide").ready(function () {
hide = setTimeout(function () { $("._aHide").fadeOut("slow") }, 7000);
hide;
});
});
But somthings wrong here
1- this code work for one time only, And I show this message many times.
2- All message boxes hides in one time, because I can't use $(this) in settimeout and I don't know why.
Thank you for your help, and I really appreciate it

Remove the point in the HTML code:
<div id="Message1" class="_aHide" runat="server" visible="true"><p>My Message</p></div>
See: http://api.jquery.com/class-selector/

tbraun89 is right, remove the "." in your html code.
Then, you can simplify your code like this :
JQuery hover have 2 functions using mouseenter and mouseleave
$(document).ready(function () {
var hide = false;
$("._aHide").hover(
function () {
//Cancel fadeout
clearTimeout(hide);
},
function(){
//re-set up fadeout
clearTimeout(hide);
hide = setTimeout(function () { $("._aHide").fadeOut("slow") }, 7000);
});
//Set up fadeout
hide = setTimeout(function () { $("._aHide").fadeOut("slow") }, 7000);
});

stop the animation jQ

ive got the problem that i dont know how to stop my function with mouseover and restart it with mouseout
first here is my test-code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function fadeEngine(x) {
var total_divs=3; //setze hier die nummer der gewollten divs
var y=x;
if(x==total_divs) y=1; else y++;
$("#fade"+x).css("display","none");
$("#fade"+y).fadeIn("slow");
setTimeout('fadeEngine('+y+')',3000); //modifi alle 3000 miliseconds nen neuen div
}
fadeEngine(0); //Initialisation des Scripts
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
/*
$("#container").hover(function(){
stop('mouse over');
},function(){
alert('mouse out');
});
*/
/*
$("#container").hover(function()
{
$(this).stop().fadeTo("slow", 1.00);
},
function()
{
$(this).stop().fadeTo("fast", 0.50);
});
*/
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="width:200px;height:200px;background:#afafaf;color:#red;">

<div id="fade3" style="display:none">Content three</div>
</div>
<div class="blocker"> </div>

How i can do this to stop my function fadeEngine if im go over the contentdiv and start it if im move out of the div?
thanks a lot for help

Give all of your #fadeX elements a class (say .faders) and then use:
$('.faders').stop();
Or give the container div an id like #faderbox and say:
$('#faderbox div').stop();

I'm not sure exactly what you want to happen with regards to your fadeIn and fadeOut effects in your fadeEngine, however, I can give you two pieces of advice:
You can use the jQuery effect stop() to stop all current jQuery animations on selected elements. For example:
$("#fade"+y).stop();
Will stop the fading animation for that element in its current state. You can then reset the CSS if you wish.
To stop a function from being called that you previously queued with setTimeout, you must obtain the return value and call clearTimeout(). For example:
var timeout = setTimeout('fadeEngine('+y+')',3000);
// later...
clearTimeout(timeout);
This will clear the pending timeout event and prevent it from occurring.

If it's simply a case of attaching the animation to the mouse over bevahiour etc try this :
$(this).mouseover(function () {
// stops the hide event if we move from the trigger to the popup element
if (hideDelayTimer) clearTimeout(hideDelayTimer);
// don't trigger the animation again if we're being shown, or already visible
if (beingShown || shown) {
return;
} else {
beingShown = true;
// (we're using chaining) now animate
this.animate({
//some animation stuff
}, function() {
// once the animation is complete, set the tracker variables
beingShown = false;
shown = true;
});
}
}).mouseout(function () {
// reset the timer if we get fired again - avoids double animations
if (hideDelayTimer) clearTimeout(hideDelayTimer);
// store the timer so that it can be cleared in the mouseover if required
hideDelayTimer = setTimeout(function () {
hideDelayTimer = null;
this.animate({
//some animation stuff
}, function () {
// once the animate is complete, set the tracker variables
shown = false;
});
}, hideDelay);
});

Try applying the stop behaviour to each element that requires it e.g.
$('.faders').each(function () {
$(this).mouseover(function () {
$(this).stop();
});
});
