Is it possible to attach the "out" function to a different selector? about jquery-hoverintent HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @gkatsanos! Thanks for asking. For your case, would you just be able to, in hoverIn, just add a reference to the menu item as data on the dropdown content, use $.noop for out, and just register a listener for mouseleave on the content? For example, something like this:

$('.menu-item[data-mlid]').hoverIntent({
  over: hoverIn,
  out: $.noop,
  sensitivity: 1,
  timeout: 200
});
function hoverIn() {
  var activeitem = $(this).data('mlid');
  $('.paddle-mega-dropdown[data-mlid="' + activeitem + '"]').fadeIn('fast');
}
// only handle mouseleave of content
$('.paddle-mega-dropdown').mouseleave(function(e) {
  var activeitem = $(this).data('mlid');
  var targetElement = e.relatedTarget;
  if (! $(targetElement).closest('[data-mlid="' + activeitem + '"]').length) {
    $('.paddle-mega-dropdown[data-mlid="' + activeitem + '"]').fadeOut('fast');
  }
});

? Please let me know if this addresses your concern or if you've found another way already, and I will close the issue.

@gkatsanos, interesting to see your solution.

I found a way to do this if anyone is still looking for a resolution. Basically you can use the $.noop jquery empty function for either the over or out function. Then you can just call hoverIntent as two different functions like this.

$("#main-navigation").hoverIntent( menuHoverOver, $.noop, 'li a' );
$("#main-navigation").hoverIntent( $.noop, menuHoverOut);
