Multi Level CSS Menu #2 (customizing the javascript))

[drw158]

Hello, I don't have a lot of experience with javascript, so this may need to be moved to the javascript forum.

I am testing my site locally, but here is my public indexhibit (http://www.davewhitley.com/test)

Basically, I need help applying the 'css menu #2' to my indexhibit site. My indexhibit site uses a horizontal drop down menu, similar to the 'css menu #2'. I'm am not sure where to start. Right now my menu uses this javascript:


$(document).ready(function()
{
// First we hide all exhibitis
$("#menu ul li.section-title").nextAll().hide();

// then the active exhibit is showed
$("#menu ul").each(function()
{
$(this).find("li.active").prevAll().nextAll();
});

// This is the toggle function
// first it hides all sections
$("#menu ul li.section-title").hover(function()
{
$("#menu ul li.section-title").nextAll().hide();
$(this).nextAll().slideToggle("500");
});

});


As you can see it calls up specific css selectors in my style.css

And this script in the head:


<script type='text/javascript'>
path = '<%baseurl%>/files/gimgs/';

$(document).ready(function() {
setTimeout('move_up()', 1);
expandingMenu(0);
expandingMenu(1);
expandingMenu(2);
expandingMenu(3);
expandingMenu(4);
expandingMenu(5);
expandingMenu(6);
expandingMenu(7);
expandingMenu(8);
});
</script>


I have gotten the 'css menu #2' to work but now i need help applying it to my indexhibit menu. Indexhibit is CMS and is up-dateable so there are some things that I dont know how to do. Otherwise, if this were a basic HTML page then I could do it.

Thanks for the help in advance!

To put more simply, I need the animation of the menu to be smooth like it is in the 'css menu #2.' Also, when you roll off of the menu items, the sub menu go back to being hidden. My menu does not do this. Here is an example of my menu (http://www.chris-sorensen.com/). As you can see, the animation rollovers are not as smooth and when you roll off, the sub menus stay visible ( i do not want this ).

Thanks
