How to slideUp (hide) children divs in JQuery?

Question

Ok, let's say I have a navigation system constructed in nested divs and I want to show sub-menu divs (and sub-sub-menu divs) when I do a mouseover on the menu div AND hide sub-menu divs (and sub-sub-menu divs) on a mouseout, or more precisely, when I mouseover a different menu div.

What would be the best way?

So far, here's what I've got :

<script type="text/javascript">

$('.menu').mouseover(function(){ 
      $(this).children(".submenu").each(function(i){
        $(this).delay(1000).slideDown("slow");

$(this).mouseover(function(i){ 
$(this).children(".sub_submenu").each(function(i){
        $(this).delay(1000).slideDown("slow");

});
});
</script>


<div id="" class="menu">
menu1
<div id="" class="submenu">
submenu11
<div id="" class="sous_sousmenu">
sub_submenu111
</div>
<div id="" class="sub_submenu">
sub_submenu112
</div>
</div>
<div id="" class="submenu">
submenu12
</div>
</div>
<div id="" class="menu">
<a href="#">menu2</a>
<div id="" class="submenu">
sousmenu21
</div>
<div id="" class="submenu">
submenu22
<div id="" class="sub_submenu">
sub_submenu21
</div>
</div>
</div>

Right now, everything is working (showing sub-menu and sub-sub-menus) when I mouseover the proper menu div. Now, where/when/how should I tell the script to do a slideUp of all .submenu and .sub_submenu when I do a mouseover of a different .menu div?

Thanks

Try something like this (demo):

HTML

<div id="" class="menu">
    menu1
    <div id="" class="submenu">
        submenu11
        <div id="" class="submenu">
            sub_submenu111
        </div>
        <div id="" class="submenu">
            sub_submenu112
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="" class="submenu">
        submenu12
    </div>
</div>
<div id="" class="menu">
    <a href="#">menu2</a>
    <div id="" class="submenu">
        sousmenu21
    </div>
    <div id="" class="submenu">
        submenu22
        <div id="" class="submenu">
            sub_submenu21
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Script

$('.menu, .submenu').hover(function(){
    $(this).children('.submenu').stop(true, true).slideDown("slow");
}, function(){
    $(this).children('.submenu').stop(true, true).delay(1000).slideUp("slow");
});
