you'll want clear interval on mouseenter, start slider again on mouseleave. can use jquery's hover() function shortcut:

working demo

$(function() {     var interval = setinterval( slideswitch, 10000 );      $('#slideshow').hover(function() {         clearinterval(interval);     }, function() {         interval = setinterval( slideswitch, 10000 );     }); });
