I know this questions being asked many times already but I can not make my drop down menu work with what I have so far. The problem appears if I set delay for menu to show, without setTimeout the menu works just fine. Could anyone take a look and suggest the solution please? I am also trying that it works in IE6.

and here is a code copy:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<style>
    body {margin:60px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size:12px;}
    ul,ul ul {margin:0;padding:0;} 
    ul li {
        position:relative;
        list-style-type: none;
        padding:5px 0;
        margin:0 10px;
        cursor:pointer;
        border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;
        display:inline-block;
        float:left;     
    }
    .submenu {
        background:#eee;
        display:none;
        position:absolute;
        width:200px;        
        top:25px;
        left:0;
        margin-left:-5px;
    }
    .hover {
        display:block !important;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>

<nav id="navigation">
<ul>
    <li class="drop">Option 1
        <div class="submenu">

    I was able to work it out. Demo here http://jsbin.com/owoyon/3/edit

    var topNav = $('#navigation'),
    drop = topNav.find('.drop'),
    myTimer;

drop.hover(function () {
    var obj = $(this);
    var subMenu = obj.find('.submenu');
    clearTimeout(myTimer);
    if (subMenu.hasClass('hover')) {
        //do nothing
    } else {
        drop.find('.submenu').removeClass('hover');
        subMenu.addClass('hover');
    }
}, function () {
    myTimer = setTimeout(function () {
        drop.find('.submenu').removeClass('hover');
    }, 300);
});
