Using OpenLayers, I have a OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature installed on a layer, with the hover option set to true. When creating the layer I call
<layer>.events.register("featureselected",...)
and
<layer>.events.register("featureunselected",...)
to register functions that create and destroy a popup. This all works fine. Now I want to add a small delay before the popup is created in order to avoid the popup flickering that currently occurs when moving the mouse across multiple features. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I did find the OpenLayers.Handler.Hover handler, which has a delay option, but I don't know how to combine that with the SelectFeature control (if I even can).
