jquery flyout “slide” effect seems to grow.

Question

I am trying to copy the way the new menu on amazon flys out. I am using this for my menu currently:

As you can see here the menu seems to fly out AND grow at the same time instead of just fly out. Can anyone identify why it is also growing?

Answer 1

Because when you mouse over a link the menu is initially setting the width and height to zero for the sub-menu and then animating both parameters to the required size.

If you dont want the animation effect you can either use the fade in option or just show/hide.
