Menu Delay Needed

Menu Delay Needed

I have built a custom menu with drop down menu items, but they disappear the instant the mouse moves off the item.  I would like them to stay open for about 1 second in case the mouse slid off by mistake.  Is there simple jQuery modification that will make this happen?  I built the menu in a table and a typical menu item looks like this:
 
<tr>
<td id="LaborReport" class="DropDownMenuItem2" onclick="MenuClick('Labor', 'LaborReport', event);">
Labor Report
</td>
</tr>
