I have a pop-up submenu that when you hover your mouse over the parent <li>
each child <li>
fades in individually. And when your mouse leaves, the entire can just fade out at once.
So far, I can fadeIn them individually using really bad jQuery code, but it only fires once. And the fadeOut has never worked. It never worked when I just had the entire pop-up menu fading in at the same time.
Here it is in the current state: http://www.fixxed.net/test/pg/carousel/profiles.html
Here's the jQuery code:
$('#menu li').hover(
function () {
//show its submenu
$('ul .1', this).hide().stop(true, true).fadeIn(700);
$('ul .2', this).hide().stop(true, true).delay(300).fadeIn(700);
$('ul .3', this).hide().stop(true, true).delay(600).fadeIn(700);
$('ul .4', this).hide().stop(true, true).delay(900).fadeIn(700);
$('ul .5', this).hide().stop(true, true).delay(1200).fadeIn(700);
$('ul .6', this).hide().stop(true, true).delay(1500).fadeIn(700);
},
function () {
//hide its submenu
$('ul', this).stop(true, true).fadeOut(700);
}
Here's a simplified version of the HTML:
<li class="about"><a href="#"></a>
<ul>
<li class="6"><a href="../paul-gregory-photography-bio.html">BIO</a></li>
<li class="5"><a href="../paul-gregory-photography-clients.html">CLIENTS</a></li>
<li class="4"><a href="#">THE SESSION</a></li>
<li class="3"><a href="../paul-gregory-photography-pricing.html">Pricing</a></li>
<li class="2"><a href="#">THINGS PAUL SAYS</a></li>
<li class="1" style="padding-bottom:5px"><a href="#">Interview</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
I believe the reason it is not fading out when the mouse leaves is because of the CSS. There's a lot going with the CSS since it's a pop-up menu instead of a drop-down but here it all is (except for the sprite stuff):
#menu li ul li a {
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:left;
