I am using hoverIntent plugin that cause the sub-menu to remain opened for 3 seconds. But i want to close the other opened sub-menu on hovering a main menu. How to close other sub-menus?

here is js code

$('ul > li').hoverIntent({
        over: function(){
            $(this).children('ul').slideDown('slow');
        },
        timeout: 3000,
        out: function(){
            $(this).children('ul').slideUp();
        }
    });

Try this:

$('ul > li').hoverIntent({
    over: function(){

        // slide up all submenus before opening this menu
        $("ul.sub").slideUp();
        $(this).children('ul').slideDown('slow');
    },
    timeout: 3000,
    out: function(){
        $(this).children('ul').slideUp();
    }
});
