Collapse a menu when mouse is no longer over the menu

[OWLVideos]

I am trying to implement a horizontal series of vertically-expanding accordion menus. Each menu is in its own cell of an HTML table.

All of the menus are collapsed when the page loads, and the menus expand and collapse correctly when mousing over another header. However, I have tried different combinations of settings, and cannot figure out how to make all the headers collapse when none of the headers are the focus of the mouse.

It seems that this would be a simple modification, but so far I haven't been able to figure it out.

Perhaps I need to add a property/setting that I am not currently using? I am a beginner at javascript, so please be gentle

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ddaccordion.init({
	headerclass: "silverheader", //Shared CSS class name of headers group
	contentclass: "submenu", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
	revealtype: "mouseover", //Reveal content when user clicks or onmouseover the header? Valid value: "click", "clickgo", or "mouseover"
	mouseoverdelay: 100, //if revealtype="mouseover", set delay in milliseconds before header expands onMouseover
	collapseprev: true, //Collapse previous content (so only one open at any time)? true/false
	defaultexpanded: [], //index of content(s) open by default [index1, index2, etc] [] denotes no content
	onemustopen: false, //Specify whether at least one header should be open always (so never all headers closed)
	animatedefault: false, //Should contents open by default be animated into view?
	persiststate: true, //persist state of opened contents within browser session?
	toggleclass: ["released", "selected"], //Two CSS classes to be applied to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively ["class1", "class2"]
	togglehtml: ["", "", ""], //Additional HTML added to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively  ["position", "html1", "html2"] (see docs)
	animatespeed: 50, //speed of animation: integer in milliseconds (ie: 200), or keywords "fast", "normal", or "slow"
	oninit:function(headers, expandedindices){ //custom code to run when headers have initalized
		//do nothing
	},
	onopenclose:function(header, index, state, isuseractivated){ //custom code to run whenever a header is opened or closed
		//do nothing
	}
})

find the function

		$headers.bind("mouseleave", function(){
			clearTimeout(config.revealdelay)
		})

and change to

		$headers.bind("mouseleave", function(){
			clearTimeout(config.revealdelay)
            if (config.collapsetype=="mouseout"&&config.revealtype=="mouseenter"){
		 	 var headerindex=parseInt($(this).attr("headerindex"))
			 config.revealdelay=setTimeout(function(){ddaccordion.collapseone(config["headerclass"], headerindex)}, config.mouseoverdelay+100 ||100)
            }
		})

and add the additional option

ddaccordion.init({
	headerclass: "mypets", //Shared CSS class name of headers group
	contentclass: "thepet", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
	revealtype: "mouseover", //Reveal content when user clicks or onmouseover the header? Valid value: "click", "clickgo", or "mouseover"
    collapsetype:'mouseout', // collapse on mouseout if reveal type is "mouseover"
    mouseoverdelay: 200, //if revealtype="mouseover", set delay in milliseconds before header expands onMouseover
	collapseprev: true, //Collapse previous content (so only one open at any time)? true/false
	defaultexpanded: [], //index of content(s) open by default [index1, index2, etc]. [] denotes no content.
	onemustopen: false, //Specify whether at least one header should be open always (so never all headers closed)
	animatedefault: false, //Should contents open by default be animated into view?
	persiststate: false, //persist state of opened contents within browser session?
	toggleclass: ["", "openpet"], //Two CSS classes to be applied to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively ["class1", "class2"]
	togglehtml: ["none", "", ""], //Additional HTML added to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively  ["position", "html1", "html2"] (see docs)
	animatespeed: "fast", //speed of animation: integer in milliseconds (ie: 200), or keywords "fast", "normal", or "slow"
	oninit:function(expandedindices){ //custom code to run when headers have initalized
		//do nothing
	},
	onopenclose:function(header, index, state, isuseractivated){ //custom code to run whenever a header is opened or closed
		//do nothing
	}
})

I'm running into this same problem. Just saw this thread and applied the above mentioned changes on my end.
The header collapses beautifully when the mouse is removed but also collapses when I attempt to select one of the sub-menu items.
Any advice?
Thank you so much for any and all help.

<h3 class="mypets">Dogs</h3>
<div class="thepet">

The dog is a domestic subspecies of the wolf, a mammal of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term encompasses both feral and pet varieties and is also sometimes used to describe wild canids of other subspecies or species. The domestic dog has been (and continues to be) one of the most widely-kept working and companion animals in human history, as well as being a food source in some cultures.

<h3 class="mypets">Cats</h3>
<div class="thepet">
The Cat, also known as the Domestic Cat or House Cat to distinguish it from other felines, is a small carnivorous species of crepuscular mammal that is often valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years.
</div>

<h3 class="mypets">Rabbits</h3>
<div class="thepet">
Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are seven different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, endangered species on Amami O-shima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with cottontails, pikas, and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. Rabbits generally live between four and twenty years.
