How do i repeat a trigger continuously on mouseover or hover?

I have the following Script, which kind of works.

If i move my mouse cursor over a link in '.sample', a 'click' is being triggered.

How can i achieve, that this click is continuously triggered (kind of a loop)?

$jq('.sample a').mouseover(function(){
    $jq(this).trigger('click');
    return false;
});

I tried the following, which is not working (the click is triggered only once and then it stops):

$jq('.sample a').mouseover(function(){
    setInterval(function() { $jq('.nav-sub-browser a').trigger('click'); }, 100);
});

I also tried the following solution, which i found at stackoverflow. But this one too triggers the c开发者_StackOverflowlick only once:

function triggerClick() {
    $jq('.nav-sub-browser a').trigger('click');
}
var interval;
$jq('.nav-sub-browser a').hover(function() {
    interval = setInterval(triggerClick(), 100);
},
function() {
    clearInterval(interval);
});

What am i doing wrong?

Have you tried just click? Or is there a specific reason you're using trigger?

var myInterval = false;
$('.sampleA').mouseover(function(){
   myInterval = setInterval(function(){
       $('.nav-sub-browser a').click();
   }, 100);
});

$('.sampleA').mouseout(function(){
   clearInterval(myInterval);
   myInterval = false;
});

Here's a jsFiddle that demonstrates that: http://www.jsfiddle.net/jbenson/dpC7W/

You need to pass a function reference to setInterval, so get rid of the trailing () after triggerClick:

function triggerClick() { 
    $jq('.nav-sub-browser a').click();
} 

var interval; 
$jq('.nav-sub-browser a').hover(function() { 
    interval = setInterval(triggerClick, 100); 
}, function() {
    clearInterval(interval); 
});
