I'm new
to jQuery and i must admit that i've understood nothing yet, the syntax appears
to me as an unknown language although i thought that i had my experiences with javascript.
Nevertheless i managed it
to implement this menu in my asp.net masterpage's header.
Even got it
to work that the content-page is loaded with ajax with help from here.
But finally i'm failing with the menu
to disappear when the new page was loaded asynchronously. I dont know how
to hide this accursed jQuery Menu.
Following the part of the js-file where the events are registered for hiding/disappearing. I dont know how
to get the part that is responsible for it and even i dont know how
to implement that part in my Anchor-onclick function where i dont have a reference
to the jQuery Object.

one link of my menu what i want
to hide when the content is redirected
to another page(i need "closeMenu-function"):
<li><a href="DeliveryControl.aspx" onclick="AjaxContent.getContent(this.href);closeMenu();return false;">Delivery Control</a></li>
In short: I want
to fade out the submenus the same way they do automatically onblur, so that only the headermenu stays visible but i dont know how.
Thanks, Tim
EDIT: thanks
to Starx' private-lesson in jQuery for beginners i solved it:
I forgot the # in $("#smoothmenu1"). After that it was not difficult
to find and call the hover-function from the menu's headers
to let them fade out smoothly:
$("#smoothmenu1").find("ul").hover();
Regards,
Tim
