jQuery Drop Down Hover Menu

Question

I\'m new to jQuery, I was hoping you guys could help me. I\'m trying to make a hover dropdown menu, but it\'s extremely buggy. Can you help me clean up my Javascript? Loo

Answer 1

Use the finish function in jQuery to prevent the bug where you rapidly hover your mouse over the menu and out of the menu. Finish is better than the stop function previously suggested.

$(document).ready(
    function () {
        $(".hoverli").hover(
          function () {
             $('ul.file_menu').finish().slideDown('medium');
          }, 
          function () {
             $('ul.file_menu').finish().slideUp('medium');
          }
    );
});
