Question

upon entering my menu item my hidden div rolls down nicely then recoils if you leave. the problem is if you are already mousing around the container then RE-enter the menu item up top it unfortunately re-fires and slides the hidden container down again like this:

so what I’m trying to do is test to see if the item is already visible, if it is simply keep showing the container.

close as I can get to that is this:

any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

To solve the way you have it setup check it out here jsfiddle. Also Hogan gave you a good answer if you want the dropdwon menus contained within the main menu. Otherwise I just added a stop(true, true) call on the #dd_about to make the animation stop.
