That's a good thought. But would I attach that to all links inside of
the hovered element? In that case wouldn't the code in hover still
clobber that and prevent it from being executed?
It won't work if I just put that code inside the hover functions
because there is no href associated with the element being hovered.
Just to clarify markup is like:
<ul>
<li><a href="1.html">one</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="1a.html">onea</a></li>
<li><a href="1b.html">oneb</a></li>
<li><a href="1c.html">onec</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="2.html">one</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="2a.html">onea</a></li>
<li><a href="2b.html">oneb</a></li>
<li><a href="2c.html">onec</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>
So hover is attached to the outer most <li> elements and on hover the
<ul> inside of that should appear. This works fine except that then
the links inside don't display in the status bar because of hover. I
actually notice links such as "1.html" and "2.html" displaying in the
status but the sublinks "1a.html", "2a.html", etc. are the ones that
don't display.
