how to determine when mouse has left the RadMenu

[Brian Mila]

Is there an easy way to determine when the mouse has completely left the menu?   The MouseOut event gets fired when moving from one menu item to the next, so the mouse may or may not have completely left the menu.  How can I determine for sure that the mouse isn't over the menu, or any child menus?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

Please, try the following jQuery solution, where RadMenu1 is the ID of the menu:

function pageLoad()
      {
          $telerik.$('#RadMenu1').bind("mouseleave", function() {
              alert('mouseout for the menu');
          });
      }

Note that you have to bind the mouseleave instead of mouseout. The difference between the two events is explained in detail in the following links:

mouseout
http://api.jquery.com/mouseout/

mouseleave
http://api.jquery.com/mouseleave/

Thanks Peter,  that is exactly what I was looking for!  Although I had to use syntax to get the radmenu:

$("#<%=RadMenu.ClientID %>").bind("mouseleave", mouseLeave);

Thanks for the quick reply, Telerik support is second to none!
