Drop Down Menu Disappears on Hover

Position submenu so it overlaps

[wa9578]

I've created a drop down menu (with the help of Suzy (thanks again)) however when someone goes to hover over it, if they're not fast enough it disappears (even just going straight down). Is there anyway to put up a time delay before the box disappears again?

I'm not sure if I need to repost the code but to save repetition it can be found here;

Many thanks in advance

You'll need to tie in some JavaScript to create a delay before it disappears.

If you search Google for "drop down menu delay javascript timing", one of the top results should give you some clues.

if no is javascript required, you could try to make sure the "drops" overlap by a pixel or two, just position the items one or two pixels further up/left than the exact co-ordinates required, to avoid any "breaks" in the users hover contact with the <li>'s.

This is quite common in CSS menus if borders are used around li's - the border can cause the :hover to lose 'contact'

Agree on the above. I had the same problem with my submenus before, but positioning it at the right place solved the problem.
