[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers equivalent of ka-map pause event?

[Mike Quentel]

As far as the mouse events go, you might consider using a timer to
detect if user has paused for the amount of time over the map feature.
onmouseover could start the timer.  If user does not move (mousemove)
after a certain amount of time, then show the pop-up window if over a
map feature.

I had to make timer functionality to ignore mouse wheel events that were
too fast.  I've attached a simpler example of using a timer.  This is
not the same as using the javascript setTimeout function.

Cheers,
 
Mike Quentel

I'd just want a callback run with the x,y of the pause. In my case I do
pure MapServer query requests with JSON or HTML responses. I ported the
ka-map approach to my own non-tiled framework (for example,
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/csg/index.html) and want to use a
similar approach with OpenLayers clients I'm working on.
