I've just recently started programming, I was hoping for some help. I have a drop down menu that was originally activated by click_event, however I want to now implement hoverIntent in order to make the menu drop. The issue I am having now is being able to use the menu, because whenever I invoke the menu now, once I leave the area that activates the menu, the menu closes. If you could explain to me like I'm five, I'd appreciate it, thanks 
The code I am using as follows:JavaScript:\[code\] function setupUserConfigMenu() { $('.user_profile_btn').hoverIntent( function (event) { $('#user_settings_dropdown').animate({height:['toggle', 'swing'] }, 225); }, function (event) { $('#user_settings_dropdown').animate({height:['toggle', 'swing'] }, 225); }) }\[/code\]HTML:\[code\] <li> <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13735312/<%="#" %>" class="user_profile_btn" title="Your profile page"><%= truncate(current_user.full_name || current_user.name, :length => 28) %> <div class="arrow_down"></div></a> <ul id="user_settings_dropdown"> <li> <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13735312/<%= current_user.get_url(true) %>"> <%= image_tag current_user.get_thumb_url, :size => "30x30" %> <div> <%= truncate(current_user.full_name || current_user.name, :length => 40) %> <br> View profile </div> </a> </li> <div class="grey_line"></div> <li class="settings_list_item"> <%= link_to "Settings", edit_user_registration_path %> </li> <li class="settings_list_item"> <%= link_to "About", "/about" %> </li> <li class="settings_list_item"> <%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete %> </li> </ul> </li>\[/code\]
