var h = jQuery(this).outerHeight();

/** new line **/
jQuery(this).parents(“ul:first”).find(“.” + options.backgroundClass).css({‘display’: ‘block’});

your hover function should look like this:

jQuery(this).find(“li a”).hover(function () {
var t = jQuery(this).position().top;
var l = jQuery(this).position().left;
var w = jQuery(this).outerWidth();
var h = jQuery(this).outerHeight();

/** make sure that the item is visible **/
jQuery(this).parents(“ul:first”).find(“.” + options.backgroundClass).css({‘display’: ‘block’});

jQuery(this).parents(“ul:first”).find(“.”+options.backgroundClass).stop().animate({
opacity: options.initialOpacity, top: t, left: l, width: w, height: h
}, options.slideTime, options.easing, options.callback );

}, function(){
if(options.highlightOnClick){
jQuery(this).parents(“ul:first”).find(“.”+options.backgroundClass).stop().animate({
opacity: “1”,
top: options.initial_top,
left: options.initial_left
}, 500);
}else {
jQuery(this).parents(“ul:first”).find(“.”+options.backgroundClass).stop().animate({
opacity: “0”
}, 500);
}
});

Care to share these issues, or perhaps add them to the Issue Tracker at http://code.google.com/p/jquery-sliding-menu/issues/list so that others can benefit?

It works with 1.7.2
Few bugs regarding highlightonClick
but are easily fixable

this plugin doesn’t seem to work with jQuery 1.7.1

Any chance to get it to work again?

Thanks!

Michael

Dunno if that was just my implementation or the latest jquery changing things

what’s changed, how can I make this compatible.
Thanks in advance!
