I have a menu-like drop down container that hides via binding the "mouseleave" event.
<div id="container"> <select> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> </select> </div>
The problem I am having is when my container's child elements contain a SELECT object where the OPTIONS of the SELECT physically extend outside the bounds of the container. Consequently, hovering over the OPTIONS outside of the bounds trigger the "mouseleave" event to fire and close my drop down. The SELECT is a child of the container, so in this case I would expect the mouseleave event to recognize this.
