WordPress Drop Down JavaScript jQuery Issue

While building / fixing a few things on the websites new template, I ran across an interesting problem with the drop down menu’s. Originally the menus would drop down once, then wouldn’t drop down again until you refreshed the page. It took me a few hours to finally pin point the issue, and afterwards I felt like slapping myself in the head. Here was the original jQuery:

function wpbx_mainmenu(){if(!jQuery.browser.msie){// IE – 2nd level FixjQuery(” #nav ul “).css({opacity:”0.95″});}jQuery(“#nav a”).removeAttr(‘title’);jQuery(” #nav > li > ul”).css({display: “none”}); // Opera FixjQuery(” #nav > li > ul”).parent().find(“a:first”).append(“ “);jQuery(” #nav ul li > ul”).parent().find(“a:first”).append(“ “);jQuery(” #nav li”).hover(function(){jQuery(this).find(‘ul:first:hidden’).css({visibility: “visible”,display: “none”}).show(0);},function(){ jQuery(this).find(‘ul:first’).css({visibility: “hidden”});});}
You see the problem was with how the drop down was hiding after mousing off since originally I was handing it with the .css({visibility: “hidden”});. roofing sacramento . dwi defense attorney . So I tried to use another native method of hiding with .hide(0), so I replaced:
jQuery(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "hidden"});
with
jQuery(this).find('ul:first').hide(0);
This fixed the drop down issue. airport transportation . So note to self, use the native hide instead of css visibility.
