slideUp & slideDown problem (bug?)
Hi,
I've encountered a problem when using the slide functions along with
the hover event.
I wish to only show a sub-list within a list when the mouse cursor is
over the sub-list's parent list item. A concise version of my code is
shown below and a working copy can be found here:
http://www.paulpepper.co.uk/scratch/gnasher.html.
The difficulty occurs when passing the mouse cursor over the second
item in the top-level list - finish the mouse movement in the right
place, just below the sub-list, and the sub-list will continually
slide open and then closed, like a pair of gnashing teeth!!
Have I found a bug, or am I missing something in my use of the hover
event or the slide functions? Either way, if anyone can explain what's
going on then I'd be grateful!
Thanks,
Paul.

Show and hide list items (submenu items) using jquery's hover with
slide callbacks:
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li id="menu">item2
<ul id="submenu">
<li>submenu 1</li>
<li>submenu 2</li>
<li>submenu 3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>item 3</li>
<li>item 4</li>
</ul>
