Event fire delay!!!

Event fire delay!!!

Hello,

I would like to stop run a event for a time. But if time ends it should be possible to fire the event again. 
The target of this is a mouseover effect. It shouldn't be possible to fire the event to many times. 

Sample:
  1. Go over the element -> The event will be fire!
  2. I leave this element and go back to the element -> The event will be not fire!
  3. I enter the element later -> The event will fire again!
I hope you can help me!!
