Changing the Var Delay Hide (JavaScript Code)

[Xtremer360]

I'm wanting to change the var delay hide from 500 to something like infinite so that my nav bar will when one of the menus is click the sub menus will stay up until another menu is selected.

 

// Edit the dimensions of the below, plus background color-->
print '<ilayer width=1010 height=20 name="dep1">';
print '<layer name="dep2" width=1010 height=20>';
print '</layer>';
print '</ilayer>';
print '<div id="describe" onClick="clear_delayhide()" onMouseout="resetit(event)"></div>';
?>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

var submenu=new Array()

//Set submenu contents. Expand as needed. For each content, make sure everything exists on ONE LINE. Otherwise, there will be JS errors.

submenu[0]='<font size="2" face="Verdana"><b><a href="singles.php" target="main">Singles</a> | <a href="tagteams.php" target="main">Tag Team</a> | <a href="stables.php" target="main">Stables</a> | <a href="champions.php" target="main">Champions</a></b></font>'

submenu[3]='<font size="2" face="Verdana"><b><a href="contact.php" target="main">Contact KOW</a> | <a href="titlehistory.php" target="main">History of Champions</a></b></font>'

//Set delay before submenu disappears after mouse moves out of it (in milliseconds)
var delay_hide=500

/////No need to edit beyond here

var menuobj=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("describe") : document.all? document.all.describe : document.layers? document.dep1.document.dep2 : ""

function showit(which){
clear_delayhide()
thecontent=(which==-1)? "" : submenu[which]
if (document.getElementById||document.all)
menuobj.innerHTML=thecontent
else if (document.layers){
menuobj.document.write(thecontent)
menuobj.document.close()
}
}

function resetit(e){
if (document.all&&!menuobj.contains(e.toElement))
delayhide=setTimeout("showit(-1)",delay_hide)
else if (document.getElementById&&e.currentTarget!= e.relatedTarget&& !contains_ns6(e.currentTarget, e.relatedTarget))
delayhide=setTimeout("showit(-1)",delay_hide)
}

function clear_delayhide(){
if (window.delayhide)
clearTimeout(delayhide)
}

function contains_ns6(a, b) {
while (b.parentNode)
if ((b = b.parentNode) == a)
return true;
return false;
}

</script>

No, you do not want to make the delay infinite. That will waste resources by the users computer to process that. Simply rewrite the code so there is NO delay and have the hide code take effect on an onclock event for another menu.
