Is there any way, through CSS or something else, to adjust the duration in which the submenu list is visible?
It seems to hang around a couple of seconds after you move the pointer away, and it's kind of annoying.
Thanks for responding, Nancy. I'm using a spry menu in created with DW, CS5.5. Everything looks ok, I just want to make the submenu or dropdown menu disappear quicker instead of lingering after the pointer has moved. I'm not sure it's even possible. It may be a browser controlled thing or something. Here's my link. It's a school project, so....http://ist2w.kaplan.edu/1202A/IT245-01/ChristopherWarni/index.html
It's definitely possible by tweaking the Javascript.
Try inserting a more versatile Spry 2.0 menu instead

and you can customize the delay by tweaking subMenuHideDelay using these instructions
Nice looking site. ![]()
Open SpryMenuBar.js file and Find this line of code.
// represents the current (sub)menu we are operating on
this.currMenu = null;
this.showDelay = 250;
this.hideDelay = 600;
Values are in milliseconds. Lower values = faster. Higher values = slower.

Thanks, Nancy! That worked absolutely perfect, and super simple. I changed the hidedelay to 250 and it's exactlt how I feel it should be. I've been making some changes to the site for the last few hours. Feel free to take a look and offer any feedback or criticisim. Although, I am having a bit of a time getting the submenu to take a background image. I can do it inline, but I don't want to have to do that to 10 pages. It shows the image in the submenu in DW live view, but not on the internet after I upload the CSS changes. I have pretty much went through each of the spry menu settings and tested a background-image value, but none of the changes are effective on the Web. What am I missing here?
