Joel,
The problem is I didn't want to spend another day or two rewriting my
whole menu system and css files while trying to figure out another
menu plugin. Mine is working just fine and has been tested and has
worked in all browsers for over a year, i just wanted to convert the
js to jquery to cut down on my script file sizes. I did take a closer
look at your plugin though, and it does pretty much the same thing as
mine does, except your use of SetTimeout is exactly what I needed. I
integrated that idea into my existing code and viola, it works like a
charm.
So now my complete menu script this:
$(document).ready(function(){
expandmenu(currenttab);
$("#toptabs > a").each(function() {
var rel = $(this).attr("rel");
$(this).mouseover(function(){ expandmenu(rel);
menu_over(); }).mouseout(menu_out);
});
});
var menu_timer = null;
function menu_over(){ clearTimeout(menu_timer); }
function menu_out(){ clearTimeout(menu_timer);
menu_timer=setTimeout(function(){ expandmenu(currenttab); },800); }
function expandmenu(tabid){
$("#toptabs:visible",function(){
$("#toptabs > [EMAIL PROTECTED]'"+tabid
+"']").addClass("current").siblings("a.current").removeClass();
$("#"+tabid).show().siblings("div:visible").hide();
$("#"+tabid+" div").each(function() {
$
(this).mouseover(menu_over).mouseout(menu_out).siblings().mouseout(function()
{ return false; });
});
});
}
Thanks for your help!
