    Hi
    Is it possible to implement a hoverintent behavior to mega menu?.
    Would be nice all drop down menus to have a subtle time delay when hovering in and out of them.

    regards

    Hi
    Nobody?
    First of all I must say that I like your framework very much and I use it. But this mega menu behavior and the tight integration to T3 is a problem.
    Maybe I need to explain myself better.
    MEGA MENU !!!
    Behavior: All the time sub menus are flying around as soon as the mouse passes over.
    Solution:The mouse should not trigger the sub menus instantly.
    I am very surprised that you never addressed this issue before. In my opinion is a serious usability issue, because:
    A mega drop-down menu should only appear after the user has been hovering for 0.5 seconds. If the menus are set to appear instantly, and a user is casually rolling their mouse over the menu, they’ll see a bunch of menus flickering about — and that’s a nuisance.
    These are the words of usability guru Jakob Nielsen and I totally agree with him.
    I know it can be done with jQuery and a small plugin called hoverIntent. What we want to implement is the delayed effect: that is, we’d like to wait for the user to stop moving their mouse. The hoverIntent plugin provides for this by taking the mouse movement speed into account.
    Unfortunately I am not an expert in javascript. There could be conflicts from such an implementation.
    That is why I asked you in the first place. You have a team of programmers and it would be nice to implement it to mega menu. For me this is a weak point of mega menu, if you have a lot of sub menus.
    I must say that if this is solved, T3 is my only choice of framework
    Best Regards
