As for a proper example i can't do that too well as i don't have any original code to work with but something like this may work:
html: <div id="container"> <img src="path/to/img.ext"/> <div id="menu" class="menu"> <!-- menu stuff here --> </div> </div> JScript: <script> //Add a listener to the #container div, rather than the img. $('#container').mouseover(function(){ $('#menu').show() }); $('#container').mouseout(function(){ $('#menu').hide() }); </script> Without any example from you, this may well be useless unfortunately, but the theory, at least to me, should work.
