Not sure how to explain this except to give an example.

On [http://sourceforge.net/](http://sourceforge.net/), there’s a menu with dropdowns up the top (should have [SF.net](http://SF.net) in red) . I have a similar menu, a “Son of Suckerfish” style menu with a few things added. In my menu, when I click the top level item, the drop down menu appears.

As I move off the top level item to select an item in the dropdown, the top level item returns to it’s default rollout state. How can I keep it in it’s rollover state while it’s corresponding dropdown menu is active, like Sourceforge there?

TY For any help you can provide 🙂
