Morning all,

I have a pretty basic menu that opens on rollOver but can’t close untill you make a choice or hit a close button. I’d also like that menu to close after a few seconds if you don’t make a choice or click the close button. I know I can do this somehow with setInterval but I haven’t found it yet. Can anyone help out with this?

Thank you.
