Thanks... but i actually chose somewhat different approach :
and it works too:
function movehere(el){ /* This bit is for moving the background of
first ul - the lavalamp */
var w = $(el).width();
var pos = $(el).position();
var lleft = pos.left;
$("li.back").animate({
width: w+"px",
left:lleft+"px"
}, 500);
}
$("ul.lavaLamp").hoverIntent(function(){ /* This part is for general
wrapper and its only real purpose is to move lavalamp li back to its
position when mouse leaves the menu. Without this wrapper the lavalamp
li would keep hopping back and forwards between its home position and
li where mousecursor is */
$(this).children("li").hoverIntent(function(){ /* opens menu
when
mouse cursor is over li */
$(this).children("ul.levTwo").slideToggle('medium'); /*
aparently
there is no need for if, since if there is nothing to select, then it
fails silently */
el = $(this);
movehere(el);
}, function(){
$(this).children("ul.levTwo").slideToggle('medium');
}, 3, 100, 1000);
},function(){
el = $("li.active"); /* and this part moves the lavalamp when
cursor
leaves menu */
movehere(el);
}, 1000);
And it works too...
