defines :delay(time) pseudo for Element.Event in MooTools

onPause.js

Event.definePseudo('onPause', function(split, fn, args){
  clearTimeout(fn.onPauseId);
  fn.onPauseId = fn.delay(split.value, this, args);
});

someElement.addEvent('keyup:onPause(100)', function(){
  // will execute 100ms after last keyup occurs, great for keyboard input 
});

I'd imagine that this is bound to the element. Couldn't you store the delay timer in storage?

ibolmo, an element could have multiple of these events bound to it so, no, you probably shouldn't use element storage. The function you pass in will almost always be an anon function and wont be used anywhere else, therefor it makes a likely candidate for the timeout id. Logically it makes sense as well - the timer is for the function, not the element.
