This is the jquery code for superfish menu plugin (after some revisions of mine). I'm looking to add an effect (either through superfish or adventitiously) that would cause the submenus to slide up on mouseout (just as they slide down when you hover a menu-top).
jQuery("ul.sf-menu").supersubs({
minWidth: 12, // minimum width of sub-menus in em units
maxWidth: 27, // maximum width of sub-menus in em units
extraWidth: 1 // extra width can ensure lines don't sometimes turn over
// due to slight rounding differences and font-family
}).superfish({
delay: 700, // delay on mouseout
animation: {opacity:'show',height:'show'}, // fade-in and slide-down animation
speed: 'fast', // faster animation speed
autoArrows: true, // disable generation of arrow mark-up
dropShadows: false // disable drop shadows
});
