window.clearTimeout problem?

I am working on a menu bar that has been create for divisions in html.
The menubar works perfectly fine until you go to the second tier. For
some reason it will not let me clear the timer for the second tier.
And whats worse is that one you move back to the first tier it does
not clear the timer for it either.

Here is the link for the page i am working on:
http://www.nwtechonline.com/~kendalk...vaschools.html.

If you need the code then post and i will get it to you.

Also this menubar works only in firefox at the moment. If you are
using Internet Explorer I am sorry.

Thanks in Advance,

kendalk08 said the following on 12/6/2007 11:56 AM:Why are you trying to use setTimeout to begin with? Simply use the
onmouseover/out events to decide whether to show/hide the menus. And,
your layout is off. Try going from one "tier" to the next, very slowly,
with the mouse. The second tier disappears before you can get to it.

The only reason for the timer is to allow time for the user to change
there mind...

I have not tried the onmouseout/onmouseover trick before but i'll give
it a try.

have their problems when script is enabled. Perhaps you shouldn't
waste your time re-inventing the wheel.

Try this script:

You'll have to change to nested lists for your menus, but that is what
they should be anyway.

menubar_js2.js line 53.

You do not need to use javascript for this stuff. CSS will do quite nicely.

don't like about them is that they vanish the instant you move the
mouse away, which seems to be the opposite of what the OP is trying to
accomplish.

On Dec 7, 11:58 am, David Mark <dmark.cins...@gmail.comwrote:I have figured a way around the CSS Menu to create a Javascript Menu
using Div. The problem came from when the ONMOUSEOVER event fired from
the child element it fired the ONMOUSEOUT event from the parent
element. This caused the child element to cancel the timer and the
parent element to restart the timer. Now it works perfectly in Firefox
and i am working on getting it to work perfectly in IE. To view the
page in FireFox goto: http://www.nwtechonline.com/~kendalk...ls/index2.html.
If you want to view the script post here and ill post it. Thanks to
all for the help.

That shouldn't be necessary if the link is made to work.
