Hey Glen,
That's actually a pretty old version of the plugin. A new(er) and
improved version can be found here:

Pete,
Check out that URL above and click on the Examples link at the top of
the page. Then hover over the link that says "sort of like
amazon.com?" under the "Custom (temporary)" section. Maybe that's
something close to what you're looking for?
One of these days when I'm not swamped with freelance work, I'd like
to write a stripped-down plugin that just does that amazon.com thing.
A bunch of people have already asked for it.
Cheers,

That's a nice effect. I have been trying to do something like that
too. Microsoft does a very similar thing.
Some helpful plugins to check out:
1. Hoverintent. Slows down the interaction to make sure the user
intended to mouseover.http://cherne.net/brian/resources/
jquery.hoverIntent.html
2. ClueTip. Shows one example of popup hovers like that. http://
examples.learningjquery.com/62/demo/
There may be other plugins that help. I am interested in this if
you nail it.

Hi all,
I'm trying to construct a "popover" menu that resembles the one on
Amazon.com (put your mouse over "see all 43 product categories"). I'm
not too familiar with jQuery/JavaScript, but I thought I would be able
to do something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#link").mouseover(function(){
$("#popup_menu").show();
return false;
});
$("#popup_menu").mouseout(function(){
$(this).hide();
return false;
});
});
The problem is, as soon as you move your mouse off the link to go into
the div, it collapses. Could someone please offer some examples/
insight?

Thanks!
