I am wondering if anyone has noticed the issue with jQuery's hover
function that makes it less than perfect for dropdown menus. Normally
most browsers display the href of the link in the status bar at the
bottom of the window when a user hovers that link. Because hover
suppresses the default onmouseover and onmouseout behaviors by
returning false for them for all children of the hovered element, it
breaks the default browser feature. Recently a client of mine
complained about this and I was wondering if anyone else has had this
problem, found a solution or workaround or anything of that sort. My
first reaction is to say that this is just what you have to trade away
to get a nicer hover event, but obviously it would be great to have
both.
Thanks.
