hover dropdown menu jquery

Question

Please help me solve the following error when I hover over the main menu the submenu dropdown won't show.

The HTML looks like this:

<li class="dropdown">
    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" 
              role="button" aria-expanded="false">
        Page<span class="caret"></span>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
      <li><a href="404.html">404 Page</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link Two</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link Three</a></li>               
    </ul>
</li>

Javascript code is the following:

$('ul.nav li.dropdown').hover(function() {

  $(this).find('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).delay(200).fadeIn(200);

}, function() {

  $(this).find('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).delay(200).fadeOut(200);

});

Answer 1

 $(document).ready(function() { $( '.dropdown' ).hover( function(){ $(this).children('.dropdown-menu').slideDown(200); }, function(){ $(this).children('.dropdown-menu').slideUp(200); } ); }); // end ready 

 .dropdown-menu { display:none; }
