- /**
- * menu-aim is a jQuery plugin for dropdown menus that can differentiate
- * between a user trying hover over a dropdown item vs trying to navigate into
- * a submenu's contents.
- *
- * menu-aim assumes that you have are using a menu with submenus that expand
- * to the menu's right. It will fire events when the user's mouse enters a new
- * dropdown item *and* when that item is being intentionally hovered over.
- *
- * __________________________
- * | Monkeys >| Gorilla |
- * | Gorillas >| Content |
- * | Chimps >| Here |
- * |___________|____________|
- *
- * In the above example, "Gorillas" is selected and its submenu content is
- * being shown on the right. Imagine that the user's cursor is hovering over
- * "Gorillas." When they move their mouse into the "Gorilla Content" area, they
- * may briefly hover over "Chimps." This shouldn't close the "Gorilla Content"
- * area.
- *
- * This problem is normally solved using timeouts and delays. menu-aim tries to
- * solve this by detecting the direction of the user's mouse movement. This can
- * make for quicker transitions when navigating up and down the menu. The
- * experience is hopefully similar to amazon.com/'s "Shop by Department"
- * dropdown.
- *
- * Use like so:
- *
- * $("#menu").menuAim({
- * activate: $.noop, // fired on row activation
- * deactivate: $.noop // fired on row deactivation
- * });
- *
- * ...to receive events when a menu's row has been purposefully (de)activated.
- *
- * The following options can be passed to menuAim. All functions execute with
- * the relevant row's HTML element as the execution context ('this'):
- *
- * .menuAim({
- * // Function to call when a row is purposefully activated. Use this
- * // to show a submenu's content for the activated row.
- * activate: function() {},
- *
- * // Function to call when a row is deactivated.
- * deactivate: function() {},
- *
- * // Function to call when mouse enters a menu row. Entering a row
- * // does not mean the row has been activated, as the user may be
- * // mousing over to a submenu.
- * enter: function() {},
- *
- * // Function to call when mouse exits a menu row.
- * exit: function() {},
- *
- * // Selector for identifying which elements in the menu are rows
- * // that can trigger the above events. Defaults to "> li".
- * rowSelector: "> li",
- *
- * // You may have some menu rows that aren't submenus and therefore
- * // shouldn't ever need to "activate." If so, filter submenu rows w/
- * // this selector. Defaults to "*" (all elements).
- * submenuSelector: "*",
- *
- * // Direction the submenu opens relative to the main menu. Can be
- * // left, right, above, or below. Defaults to "right".
- * submenuDirection: "right"
- * });
