adding delay to nested sidebar menu

**hexaplex** · 06-26-2009, 06:51 PM

Hi there,

I have successfully implemented the nested sidebar menu (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...side_bar_menu/) on my web site, but i would like to add a delay before it disappears. is this possible?

thank you!

Thanks in advance.

I have a dropdown menu, I don't know if it works the same as what you have. Do you have anylinkmenu.js file?
In that file there is var disappeardelay=250; Change that 250 to a higher number. Hope this helps..
