I read your code. The code you have written does precisely as it should.
When there's a rollover it stops, when there's a rollout, it starts.

Make sure you leave your mouse ON the image for the full 2 seconds, or you
could end up with cycles. Because the setTimeout didn't have time to see
that you rolled over.

It might be smarter to consider using a variable to hold your timeout and
then using clearTimeout to end that timeout onrollover.
