I just realised that I have over-thought this. Rather than add that
stuff to the superfish plugin, we should just use the bgiframe plugin
as intended like this:
$.(".nav")
.superfish()
.find("li[ul]")
.bind("mouseover",function(){
$("ul", this).bgiframe();
});
Tested and works (test page now uses this). Do you agree? If so I'll
strip out the code I inserted earlier (I'm leaning heavily toward this).
Joel.
