Hi all, my first post to this list, having exhausted the tutorials,
plugins and documentation.

I am building a flyout menu, where each flyout is a scrollable div
(using jScrollPane for custom scrollers) containing a heading and
unordered list of many items. Each flyout div is triggered from an
anchor inside the primary navigation unordered list items.

I have the flyout working using show/hide on the primary nav anchor
except it disappears before I get to the scrollable div.

Q. Are there standard techniques for extending the allowable hover
area to the flyout div, and then hiding when mouse outside the flyout
div or over the next primary navigation?

Most of the tutorials focus on nested unordered lists or show-hide
panels used outside of a navigation context.

I pseudo code I think I need to :

for each anchor in the primary nav list:
set up the reveal and hide actions for the associated flyout div id
which first hides any shown flyouts, then  shows or fadeIns the
correct div
allows a small delay after leaving the hover area to get to the
flyout,
hide the flyout when leaving the flyout

Am I on the right track?

Any pointers gratefully recieved.
