jQuery Dropdown Menu Question

Having some issues with my dropdown menu. Code here: http://jsfiddle.net/xY2p6/1/

Something simple I'm just not getting, but as you can see it's not functioning correctly. I'm not sure how to link the hiding of the dropdown to when the user hovers off of the menu link, rathe开发者_Go百科r than the actual dropdown.

Any ideas?

Since your menu is inside the same <li> you can just attach the hover to it directly, like this:

$(function() {
    $(".dropdown").hover(function() {
        $(this).children("div.sub-menu").slideDown(200);
    }, function() {
        $(this).children("div.sub-menu").slideUp(200);
    });
});​

You can give it a try here, or even simpler with .slideToggle(), like this:

$(function() {
    $(".dropdown").hover(function() {
        $(this).children("div.sub-menu").slideToggle(200);
    });
});​

Your javascript is slighty messed up.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".dropdown").hover(
        function(){
            $(this).children("div.sub-menu").slideDown(200);
        },
        function(){
            $(this).children("div.sub-menu").slideUp(200);
        }
    );
});​
