To know if mouse still hover menu

I have the following menu construction very resumed (cant change HTML code due is impossible, only CSS and JS!):
$('span').on("hover", handleHover('span'));
function handleHover(e) {
$(e).on({
mouseenter: function() {
$(this).addClass('selecc');
$(this).next("ul").show();
},
mouseleave: function() {
$(this).removeClass('selecc');
$(this).next("ul").hide();
}
});
}
span {
display:block;
}
ul {
background-color:#CCC;
color:#000;
display:none;
margin:0;
}
.selecc {
background-color:Red;
color:#FFF
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span>Option 1</span>
<ul>
<li>suboption 1-1</li>
<li>suboption 1-2</li>
<li>suboption 1-3</li>
</ul>
<span>Option 2</span>
<ul>
<li>suboption 2-1</li>
<li>suboption 2-2</li>
<li>suboption 2-3</li>
</ul>
I need to move the mouse over the suboptions but the menu closes and i dont know how to tell to jquery that UL is part of menu group. Some idea for this?

No-one said you cannot alter the HTML dynamically using jQuery :)
So, yes, group your SPAN+UL into groups, and attach the hover function to your .group wrapper:
jsBin demo
$("span").each(function(){
var ul = $(this).next("ul");
$(this).add(ul).wrapAll("<div class='group'/>");
});
$(".group").hover(handleHover);
function handleHover() {
$("span",this).toggleClass('selecc');
$("ul",this).stop().slideToggle();
}

Custom select and option elements

A picture of what I'm trying to make:
I want to make a custom select + option drop down menu. Is there a way of including content within the option tags, or am I better off making a drop down menu with jQuery and elements:
<div class="dropDown">
<ul>
<li>Option 1 html here</li>
<li>Option 2 html here</li>
<li>Option 3 html here</li>
<li>Option 4 html here</li>
</ul>
</div>

Maybe what you want, this is simple example code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.dropDown').click(function(){
$(this).find('ul').slideToggle();
});
$('li').click(function(){
var text = $(this).find('h1').text();
$('#click').text(text);
});
});
li{
cursor:pointer;
background:#000;
display:block;
}
li div{
background-image:url('http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse/pics/red.gif');
width:50px;
height:50px;
float:left;
}
li h1{
background:#333;
color:#eee;
font-size:12px;
}
li p{
background:#666;
color:#222;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="dropDown"><div id='click'>Click Me</div>
<ul>
<li><div></div><h1>Title 1</h1><p>Option 1 html here</p></li>
<li><div></div><h1>Title 2</h1><p>Option 2 html here</p></li>
<li><div></div><h1>Title 3</h1><p>Option 3 html here</p></li>
<li><div></div><h1>Title 4</h1><p>Option 4 html here</p></li>
</ul>
</div>

This can be accomplished with pure css assuming your content within the drop-down menu is remaining the same.

Jquery Div slide transitions From Right To Left not working Properly

I create one page transitions in jquery like "http://support.microsoft.com/" this.
My problem is when page transitions done, it start from left. Please refer this fiddle (Working Code) and you can understand what happen. First I click on "Page 1" from drop down menu. First div comes from right to left (←) and its perfect, then after I click on text from First Div and Second Div comes from right to left (←), this also perfect. after that I click on text from second Div and third Div come from right to left (←) and Div 1 and 2 goes hide # left side, that's fine. but now problem start. when I click on "page 1" from navigation, My hidden divs come from left to right (→) in place of right to left (←). What I should I do ?
Here Is my Code
HTML
<div class="codrops-top clearfix">
<!-- <a class="codrops-icon codrops-icon-prev" href=""><span>Previous Demo</span></a>
<span class="right"><a class="codrops-icon codrops-icon-drop" href=""><span>Back to the Codrops Article</span></a></span> -->

CSS
body{overflow:hidden}
.navigation ul{ float:right;}
.navigation ul li{ float:left; padding:0px 300px 0px 5px;cursor:pointer}
.navigation ul li a{cursor:pointer}
.navigation ul li div{ display:none;}
.navigation ul li:hover div{ display:block; position:absolute;z-index:9999}
.navigation ul li:hover div ul{ float:none; margin-left:-30px;}
.navigation ul li:hover div ul li{ float:none; text-align:left; padding:0px; background:#110000; border-bottom:#dddddd solid 1px;}
.navigation ul li:hover div ul li:hover a{ background:#fff; color:black}
.navigation ul li:hover div ul li a{ padding:3px 5px; display:block; width:100%;color:white}
JS
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#page1").click(function(){
var div3=$("#container3");
div3.animate({left:'120%'},"slow");
$("#container1").show();
var div=$("#container1");
div.animate({left:'20%'},"slow");
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#contaoneritem1").click(function(){
$("#container2").show();
var div=$("#container2");
div.animate({left:'40%'},"slow");
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#contaoneritem2 li a").click(function(){
var div=$("#container2");
var div1=$("#container1");
div.animate({left:'-100%'},"slow");
div1.animate({left:'-100%'},"slow");
$("#container3").show();
var div3=$("#container3");
div3.animate({left:'20%'},"slow");
});
});

You are moving the container 1& 2 to extrem left thats why it start coming from left to right, do following changes :
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#page1").click(function(){
var div3=$("#container3");
div3.animate({left:'120%'},"slow");
var div2=$("#container2");
var div1=$("#container1");
div2.css("left", "100%");
div1.css("left", "80%");
$("#container1").show();
var div=$("#container1");
div.animate({left:'20%'},"slow");
});
});
Fiddle DEMO

$(this).find(..) alternative

I find my self doing this but not sure if this is the best way. Here an example.
<ul id="menubar">
<li><a class="menu_item">File</a>
<ul>
<li><a id="menu_file_new">New</a></li>
<li><a id="menu_file_open">Open</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="menu_item">Run</a>
<ul>
<li><a id="menu_run_preview">Preview</a></li>
<li><a id="menu_run_compile">Compile</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
JQuery
$('.menu_item').hover(function(){
$(this).find('ul').show();
});
Just wondering is this the best way, find seems a bit overkill?
EDIT: I can't use css because of this: Fails in Opera/IE when an item is clicked/hover it fails in those two browsers. http://jsfiddle.net/cJsn2/1/ this is because of html standard.

You can do this with CSS only
.menu_item ul { display: none; }
.menu_item:hover ul {display: block; }
as for the JavaScript, it's fine, you can use $.children instead of $.find to traverse less nodes

This would be a simple hover script:
// I'm purposely using `toggleClass`, instead of show/hide, to
// have more flexibility with styling
$('.menu_item').each(function () {
var $li = $(this).closest('li');
$(this).hover(function () {
$li.toggleClass('hover');
});
});
with the following css:
ul ul {
display: none;
}
li.hover > ul {
display: block;
}
demo: http://jsbin.com/ehifod/1/

Try doing this with just css
the catch is that you're going to apply the "hover" on the li and not in the a
#menubar li ul{
display:none;
}
#menubar li:hover > ul{
display:block;
}
jsfiddle >

What you want to use is closest. It travels up the DOM-tree to find the first parent element matching the selector:
$('.menu_item').hover(function(){
$(this).closest('ul').show();
});
$(".menu_item").hover(function() {
$(this).next().show();
});

You can use CSS (this is under the assumption that the ul element is contained within the .menu_item element):
.menu_item:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/cJsn2/
Using the following HTML:
<ul id="menubar">
<li class="menu_item"><a>File</a>
<ul>
<li><a id="menu_file_new">New</a></li>
<li><a id="menu_file_open">Open</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="menu_item"><a>Run</a>
<ul>
<li><a id="menu_run_preview">Preview</a></li>
<li><a id="menu_run_compile">Compile</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Menu Item Hover JavaScript

If someone could help me point in the right direction that would be awesome as I have been looking for a solution to this issues for hours.
http://jamessuske.com/will/
I have a menu with 3 menu items on it. if you hover over the last two menu items, a div with items from a different list appear. That part works fine, but if I go to roll over the other menu items from another list, they disappear again.
This is my JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showGalleryNav(){
document.getElementById('headerNavGallery').style.display = "";
}
function showInfoNav(){
document.getElementById('headerNavInfo').style.display = "";
}
function hideGalleryNav(){
document.getElementById('headerNavGallery').style.display = "none";
}
function hideInfoNav(){
document.getElementById('headerNavInfo').style.display = "none";
}
</script>
And The HTML
<div class="headerNav">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
<li>Info</li>
</ul>
</div><!--headerNav-->
<div class="headerNavGallery" id="headerNavGallery" style="display:none;">
<ul>
<li>Categoies</li>
<li>Products</li>
</ul>
</div><!--headerNavGallery-->
<div class="headerNavInfo" id="headerNavInfo" style="display:none;">
<ul>
<li>William Ruppel</li>
<li>CV</li>
<li>Artist Bio</li>
<li>Video</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div><!--headerNavInfo-->
I've tried different Attributes, but none of them are working, I have also tried switching to jQuery with
$('#headerNavGallery").css("display", "");
also didn't work,
Any ideas would be greatly apperiated.

Actually what you are trying to accomplish is all css-only doable but not with that markup structure. First you need to nest your lists.
<ul class="menu">
<li>item 1</li>
<li>
item 2 with sub
<ul>
<li>sub menu item 1</li>
<li>sub menu item 2</li>
... so on ..
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
some css
.menu li {
position: relative;
}
.menu li ul {
position: absolute;
top: 30px; /* the height of the root level item */
display: none;
}
.menu li li {
position: static; /* or you could float these for horizontal menu */
}
.menu li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
These are pretty much the basics. But I strongly suggest you go and study superfish menu as it's jquery drop drop menu but it degrades nicely with js off, so you could just study the css of it. http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/

Check that typeo, nvm...
Setting the display property should always have a value "none" or "block", empty("") is a bad reset... try this:
<script>
$(".galleryNavToggle").on("mouseenter mouseleave", function(event){
var headNavGal = $("#headerNavGallery");
if(event.type === "mouseenter"){
headNavGal.show();
}else if(event.type ==="mouseleave" &&
((event.relatedTarget !== headNavGal[0] && $.inArray(event.relatedTarget, headNavGal.find("*")) <=0) ||
$.inArray(event.relatedTarget, $(".galleryNavInfoToggle")) > 0)){
headNavGal.hide();
}
});
$("#headerNavGallery").on("mouseleave", function(event){
var headNavGal = $(this);
if(event.type ==="mouseleave"){
headNavGal.hide();
}
});
</script>
HTML
<div class="headerNav">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li><a href="" class='galleryNavToggle'>Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="" class='galleryNavInfoToggle'>Info</a></li>
</ul>
</div><!--headerNav-->
<div class="headerNavGallery" id="headerNavGallery" style="display:none;">
<ul>
<li>Categoies</li>
<li>Products</li>
</ul>
</div><!--headerNavGallery-->
AND CSS
.headerNav{
border:thin solid black;
float:left;
}
.headerNavGallery{
float:left;
border:thin solid black;
margin-left:-1px;
}

1) Gallery
You don't need to specify javascript:. This is redundant.
2) It is working exactly the way you programmied it to work. When you mouse-out, it disappears.
3) You have code for "headerNavInfo" but no matching HTML.
