Ah, I got the menus to be expanded automatically by replacing


//MENU SIDEBAR STUFF
jQuery("#menu").css({"opacity":.7}).toggle(1000);
jQuery("#dropmenu ul").css("display","none").parent("li").prepend("<div class='closeNav'>-</div><div class='openNav'>+</div>");
//CLICK
jQuery(".openNav").click(function(){
jQuery(this).parent().children("ul").slideDown("normal",menuCheck);
jQuery(this).siblings(".closeNav").show()
jQuery(this).css("display","none");
});
jQuery(".closeNav").click(function(){
jQuery(this).parent().children("ul").slideUp("normal",menuCheck);
jQuery(this).siblings(".openNav").show();
jQuery(this).css("display","none");
});

with


//MENU SIDEBAR STUFF
jQuery("#menu").css({"opacity":.7}).toggle(1000);
jQuery("#dropmenu ul").css("display","block").parent("li").prepend("<div class='closeNav'>+</div><div class='openNav'>-</div>");
//CLICK
jQuery(".openNav").click(function(){
jQuery(this).parent().children("ul").slideUp("normal",menuCheck);
jQuery(this).siblings(".closeNav").show()
jQuery(this).css("display","none");
});
jQuery(".closeNav").click(function(){
jQuery(this).parent().children("ul").slideDown("normal",menuCheck);
jQuery(this).siblings(".openNav").show();
jQuery(this).css("display","none");
});

You'll need to customize the jQuery script. Start by adjusting the click function to a hover function. I haven't tested the theme with this hover function effect for the menu, so you'll likely have to make additional adjustments to get it to work the way you like.

Better yet, is there a way to automatically expand submenus simply by hovering over the parent page's link (instead of needing to click the "+" button)?

Hmm... that only seemed to remove the menu and sidebar from the website.

Did I do that correctly?

In "style.css" remove the display:none; property for #menu and #sidebar.

Hi, I've been searching through the scripts.js file for a way to have the submenus expanded by default when someone first visits my site. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Paul
