Hi, I would like to include "hovering" in a question, and record whether a respondent does hover over text (and ideally for how long).

Best answer by TomG

Add a mouseover event the element you want record hovering for. Within that event initialize a timer and add a mouseout event than ends and records the time.

Worth noting that although you can add a mouseover event, this will only be beneficial for a desktop. Touch devices won't be able to record this type of info until it's selected. So it really depends what you are going to use this data for? Depending on what you are trying to find out, it may be more useful to be able to record selections and if the user changes their mind before they submit/continue.

Thanks this is useful. Actually I wanted to give people some "optional" information and check whether they looked at it or not.
