Show hide menu/dropdown with delay

hi guys,
Am trying to implement a dropdown menu with delay.

Which I got working, however after it shows the dropdown div, I don’t know how to keep the div displayed on hover over the div.

Any ideas ?

thanks

Ehi

  $(document).ready(function () {





        $('#menu_1').mouseover(function () {

         $("#mainmenu1").slideDown(500);
        });
        $('#menu_1').mouseout(function () {
            $("#mainmenu1").slideUp(500);

        });



    });

Hi there,

Can you post the HTML that goes with this, so that I can recreate the menu for myself.
Failing that, can you post a link to a page where I can see the menu?

<div class="MainNavigations">
                  


                    <div class="TextBox_Search_div">
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" CssClass="TextBox_Search"></asp:TextBox>
                    </div>
                    <div class="mainmenu"  >
                        <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton6" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/settings.png" />
                        <div class="menu" id="menu_1" >

The html and css are a bit dodgy, as the drop down was initially implemented in css, but I then wanted to change things and add a bit of jquery.

many thanks

Hey,

Change your JS to this, making sure not to wrap everything in a $(document).ready() callback:

$('#menu_1').hover(function () {
  $("#mainmenu1").slideDown(500);
}, function () {
  $("#mainmenu1").slideUp(500);
});

This works for me, although your CSS is doing weird stuff on hover (for example)

ok that’s that sorted.

Many thanks
