Hi,
I'me tring to recreate the menu on the www.macromedia.com website. I have most of it straight from dreamweaver but I haven't got a time delay in it which means that if you are on the first main menu button and you try to get onto one of the submenu buttons but you accidently roll over main button 2 a new submenu pops up.
Can some one please help me with the code for such a time delay in javascript please?
Thanks
This is the code for the menu have
