How can I open a Superfish jQuery Menu on click rather than hover?

Question

I\'ve had a quick browse around the web for an implementation of Superfish menu by Joel Birch that works on onclick, rather than hover.

Found this link by Karl Swed

Changing this line (line 21, over function):

$$.showSuperfishUl().siblings().hideSuperfishUl();

To this:

$$.click(function(){$(this).showSuperfishUl().siblings().hideSuperfishUl();});

Full superfish code for clicking the menu:
