[jQuery] Variable Flag Problems

[omtay38]

I know I'll hit myself for not figuring this one out but its driving
me crazy!

--- Function ---
User mouses over an item in navigation menu and secondary nav-menu
slides down. the variable "downYet" prevents other secondary nav menus
from sliding down....but id doesn't

--- Code ---

$(document).ready(function(){

                                var downYet = false;
                                $("#bigNavBox > li > 
a").mouseover(function(downYet) { //Handy
Dandy SideTab Navigation function
                                        var name = $(this).attr("id");
                                        if (downYet == false)
                                        {
                                                $("ul[jq=" + name + 
"]").slideDown(200);
                                                downYet = true;
                                        }
                                });
                        });


Thanks for the help!
