I would not include

Event.observe(panels[i].getElementsByTagName(’div’)[0], ‘mouseout’, resetTabs, false);

Since stopping the motion with mouseout breaks the whole slide menu. Easily seen if you move across the panels very fast with your mouse it takes only a few movements to break the menu. This has to do with the motion not finished and you already send another task (closing) to the script engine and it gets stuck.

So do NOT include the MouseOut event!

Event.observe(panels[i].getElementsByTagName(’h3′)[0], ‘mouseover’, accordion, false); Event.observe(panels[i].getElementsByTagName(’h3′)[0], ‘mousemove’, accordion, false);

If you add the following line right below that, it will cause the menu to close when you exit the menu–the way everyone’s been asking (though this script, as a whole, has too many bugs for anything to really work well enough anyway. And this is a bit of a silly way to accomplish making the menu close when moving off of it–but I didn’t feel like devoting hours to making a better way):

Event.observe(panels[i].getElementsByTagName(’div’)[0], ‘mouseout’, resetTabs, false);

find in tabslide.js (not including the code divider lines I made):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

function resetIdle(){
if( $(’visible’) ){
window.clearTimeout( slideTime );
slideTime = window.setTimeout( “resetTabs()”, 10000 );
}
}

function setIdle(){
if( $(’visible’) ){
slideTime = window.setTimeout( “resetTabs()”, 10000 );
}
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And change to:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
function resetIdle(){
if( $(’visible’) ){
window.clearTimeout( slideTime );
slideTime = window.setTimeout( “resetTabs()”, menuTimoutDuration );
}
}

function setIdle(){
if( $(’visible’) ){
slideTime = window.setTimeout( “resetTabs()”, menuTimoutDuration );
}
}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then add at the top of the script:

var menuTimoutDuration = 1; // Number in seconds. Default: 10 seconds.

// Convert seconds into milliseconds for JavaScript to understand.
menuTimoutDuration = menuTimoutDuration * 1000;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also in that same file, find all the places it has “0.3″ and change it to:

menuSlideSpeed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then add at the top of the file:

var menuSlideSpeed = 0.8; // Default: 0.3

Thanks very much!
