if you want to do CSS only, you could take advantage of keyframes, which works on most browsers these days http://caniuse.com/#search=css-animation
add a simple CSS animation: @keyframes showSubnav { 0% { opacity: 0; } 100% { opacity: 1; } } add the animation elements to your :hover ul class #pronet_topnav_wrapper #pronet_nav_container #pronet_nav ul#subnav li:hover ul { [...] /* opacity: 1; // remove this, will now be specified in the keyframe */ animation-delay: 200ms; // spreading the 400ms across the delay + duration, adjust as desired animation-direction: normal; animation-duration: 200ms; // second half of the requested 400ms delay. animation-name: showSubnav; animation-iteration-count: 1; animation-fill-mode: forwards; } you will discover another issue though, the subnav is triggered by hover on the LI not the A, so i'd recommend moving the styling for the a:hover into a ul#subnav > li:hover > a class so it all happens together, like so: #pronet_topnav_wrapper #pronet_nav_container #pronet_nav ul#subnav > li:hover > a On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 6:15 PM, J.C.
