Joel,
I wrote those reviews/changes @ 4am, and after more thought realize
most of them were unnecessary. The original code would work @ multiple
menus at once without the return this.each(...); The reasons I began
with that is I wanted to do my "serializing" within the .each statement,
instead of the "over" function (at first). Also, as for settimeout
returning an integer instead of a referencing function, this would
eliminate the need for the serializing in the first place -- unless of
course, you want to attach more data to the element (such as item
specific timeout values, effects, etc).
As for attaching your functions over/out functions to the jQuery
object -- I would not do this... unless you need them available
globally. Having them within the scope of the plugin is more appropriate.
