CSS Vertical Menu with Nested Lists, Need jQuery Delay on MouseOut
<p>I'm new with jQuery and I'm trying to solve an issue with my navigation. I built a vertical menu with many nested lists. It's purely CSS but my client requested that the sub menu currently open stays open for a second or so when you're no longer hovering over it.</p>

<p>Here's the site I'm working on: <a href="http://dev.musgraveagencies.com/" rel="nofollow">http://dev.musgraveagencies.com/</a></p>

<p>And here is the site they currently have, and how they want the menu to delay: <a href="http://www.musgraveagencies.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.musgraveagencies.com/</a></p>

<p>I believe I can use jQuery to achieve this, but I want the site to work as is if Javascript isn't enabled.</p>

<p><strong>Edit:</strong> Thanks for everyone's help! Here is the final code below.</p>

<p>My HTML:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;body class="nojs"&gt;
        &lt;div id="nav"&gt;
        &lt;ul&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Development Projects&lt;/a&gt;
                &lt;ul&gt;
                    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Design Build&lt;/a&gt;
                        &lt;ul&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Interior Design&lt;/a&gt;
                                &lt;ul&gt;
                                    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                                &lt;/ul&gt;
                            &lt;/li&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                        &lt;/ul&gt;
                    &lt;/li&gt;
                    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Industrial&lt;/a&gt;
                        &lt;ul&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Project Example 4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                        &lt;/ul&gt;
                    &lt;/li&gt;
                    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Residential&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Neighbourhood&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;/ul&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
