[jQuery] Re: Settimeout on Function

[KeeganWatkins]

So, it's just a simple issue with scope. Try this instead (which was
working when applied via FireBug to your demo page:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#barcode span").hover(
      function () {
                $(this).addClass("barover");
      },
      function () {
           // Store span reference
          var span = $(this);
           setTimeout(function() {
                span.removeClass("barover");
          }, 2000);
      }
    );
  });

Note that the timer used here is 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds), so
you'll likely have to tweak that value to fit your needs. Hope that
helps.
