I got the inspiration for this simple menu from [this blog post](http://www.flairpair.com/blog/web-development/jquery-simple-menu-with-slide-in-effect). It's based on the [hover intent jQuery plugin](http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html) by Brian Cherne.
The requirements:
### Hide menu on mouse out:
Categories
### Display menu on mouse over:
Categories
-Edit
-Delete
The HTML
--------
```javascript
```
The JavaScript
--------------
```javascript
```
Positioning the hover menu over the content
-------------------------------------------
The above example will show the menu inline with the content, effectively pushing it down. To avoid that, use this HTML:
```javascript
```
hoverIntent alternative
-----------------------
