Is it possible to easily add a jquery/javascript mouseover delay to css only drop down menu?
<p>Is it possible to add a mouseover delay to a pure css drop down menu (as to not annoy the user when moving mouse to another link location on the page) using a jquery or javascript  routine?</p>

<p>Most all of the material I have searched on this site and google, recommend going to a jquery or javascript type menu. I would like to stay with a pure css menu if possible, for search engine SEO purposes mainly.</p>

<p>I have tried adding a few jquery timeout routines to my 'div' and top-level 'ul' but to no avail.</p>

<p>My CSS is:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
.pipe {margin-top:4px;}
.li_hover {color: #002398;}
.bottom_li {margin-bottom:6px;margin-top:2px;}
ul#nav li .bottom_li:hover &gt; a{background:#E0E0E0;}
ul#nav, ul#nav ul {width:300px;list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0;position:absolute;z-index:9;border:1px solid #297BCE;}
ul#nav li li:hover &gt; a{border:none;}
ul#nav li {position:relative;float:left;zoom:1; /*Needed for IE*/}
ul#nav li:hover &gt; a{background:#E0E0E0;color:#297BCE;border-left:1px solid #297BCE;border-right:1px solid #297BCE;border-top:1px solid #E0E0E0;border-bottom:1px solid #E0E0E0;text-decoration:underline;}
ul#nav li:hover &gt; ul{display:block;}
ul#nav li a{border:1px solid #FFFFFF;display:block;padding:4px 6px 4px 6px;color:#297BCE;font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma;font-size:13px;text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav ul {padding-left:8px;padding-top:2px;display:none;position:absolute;width:150px;border:1px solid #297BCE;background:#E0E0E0;left:0;border-top:none;}
ul#nav ul li{background:#E0E0E0;color:#000;border:none;float:none;}
ul#nav ul li a{border:none;width:100%;padding:0;display:block;color:#000000;line-height:145%;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal;} 
ul#nav ul li a:hover{border:none;width:150px;color:#297BCE;&gt;}
ul#nav ul ul{position: absolute;top: 0;left: 100%;margin-left:-3px;display: none;}
ul#nav ul ul{padding-left:8px;position:absolute;width:150px;border:1px solid #297BCE;background:#E0E0E0;}
ul#nav ul li:hover ul{display: block;}
