Jquery collapsing menu in wordpress (slight glitch)

So I'm making a website using wordpress: http://www.baxtersresume.com/wordpress-3.9.1/wordpress/about/
I'm playing with the menu jquery to get the right effect and I think I've almost got it but I need a bit of help. If you look at the site you'll notice when you open the bottom submenu by mousing over and then re-enter the menu from the bottom with the pointer it will close. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Here's the script so far:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery(".page_item ul, .sub-menu").hide();
var current;
var currentsub;
jQuery(".page_item ul, .sub-menu").prev().mouseenter( function() {
current = jQuery(this);
currentsub = jQuery(this).next();
currentsub.slideDown();
});
/*jQuery(".header__content").mouseleave( function() {
jQuery(".page_item ul, .sub-menu").slideUp();
});*/
jQuery(".menu-item-object-page, .menu-item-has-children").mouseenter( function() {
if (current != jQuery(this) && currentsub != jQuery(this)) {
currentsub.slideUp();
};
});
});
What can I do here?
edit* (Solved! JSfiddle with the html)

Perhaps something like the following would be a starting point for you. Simply using selectors to determine those elements you want to slideUp/slideDown, and exclude children of the target of the mouseEnter event?
$(function () {
$('.sub-menu').hide().parent().mouseenter(function(){
$('.sub-menu').not($(this).find('.sub-menu')).stop(true, true).slideUp();
$(this).find('.sub-menu').slideDown();
});
});

Edit: There's also a number of accordian menu libraries and tutorials out there, might be useful? For example, this little tutorial using some nice CSS3 transitions.

AJAX Transition Effect

I'm trying to get this transition effect working with AJAX but the effect doesn't work with it. I essentially have a wrapper class and an innerwrap class in each of my html pages. When you click one of the navbar items, the innerwrap in the current page fades out and the innerwrap in the clicked navbar link fades in. Here is my script:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#navbar a').click(function () {
var url = $(this).attr('href');
$('.wrapper').fadeOut('.innewrap').load.fadeIn(url + ' .innerwrap');
return false;
});
});
The way I'm seeing it is that the current innerwrap fades out and the innerwrap of the clicked url fades in. I've been struggling with finding a solution through different questions here but I can't seem to find one that's similar to the way I have the code presented. If you can't help but can guide me towards a question where the code is kind of similar that would be awesome. Thank you!

Maybe I'm wrong, but what you do in your code is fading in something like http://example.com/ .innerwrap and that's because you are using url variable where you put value of href attribute from a element.
Try using .load(url, function(){}) to achieve what you want. HERE you'll find more about load() from jQuery ;) Also your fadeIn() and fadeOut() syntax seem to be a little strange.
I think this is more what you want:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#navbar a').click(function () {
var aObj = $(this);
var url = $(this).attr('href');
$('.wrapper').load(url, function(){
$(this).find('.innerwrap').fadeOut();
$(a).find('.innerwrap').fadeIn();
});
return false;
});
});
I haven't tested this code.

whole page moves a bit when a show function is executed

I am trying to build my first website www.angelosmavraidis.com
I have inserted a javascript to show 8 divs of the same class when clicking on the "artwork" div.
The problem is that when the "artwork" is clicked and the rest of the divs show up the whole page moves a bit to the left.
Anyone know why this is happening?
Also can you recommend a better alternative to the following script to do the job?
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('.mainmenu').each(function(index, element) {
$(this).click(function() {
$('.artwork').eq(index).show();
});
});
});
Thanks

Use preventDefault here like
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('.mainmenu').each(function(index, element) {
$(this).click(function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
$('.artwork').eq(index).show();
});
});
});

jQuery On Not working for simple script

There must be some mental block that I'm just not getting...My entire site is working fine, but dynamically created links with an ID are not. Something is wrong in my code...it's as simple as this but it's not working, please show me my dumb mistake (I know it's something simple).
so for example this would be a generated link:
Hi
and then I have this script:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('click','#himan',function(){
alert('hi');
});
});
but nothing happens, and I get no errors...I'm lost, maybe my coffee is not working today. Can someone help me?

Here is demo
It is working perfect:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).on('click', '#himan', function () {
alert('hi');
});
});
reason might be duplicate of id, there must only one element with specific id because id is a unique on a page, if you adding multiple element use class instead of id.

Handle the click event on #himan itself...
function initializeDynamicLinks() {
$('#himan').on('click',function(){
alert('hi');
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
initializeDynamicLinks()
});
Here you see it working: http://jsfiddle.net/digitalextremist/emUWL/
Rerun initializeDynamicLinks() whenever you add links dynamically.
And... as has been pointed out several times in comments, you need to make sure #himan only occurs once in your source to be completely sure everything will function properly.

document.getElementById() alternative in jQuery

UPDATE: I'm sorry that my thread was misinterpreted by many users. I'll try to be more clear.
I'm using Drupal and I have created three floating banners. On the frontpage there is a block (block1) that displays one floating banner and after refresh the second one is appearing and for the third too.
Like a wrote before these banners has a little X button to stop overflow.
I've putted this script in a one of the banners and it's working great.
<script language="javascript">
function doexpand() {
document.getElementById("block1").style.overflow = "visible";
}
function dolittle() {
document.getElementById("block1").style.overflow = "hidden";
}
</script>
The real problem is that in categories pages I have #block2 and in articles #block3.
These block are displaying the same banners. The code over is working only for a one ID. In this case #block1. document.getElementById is not working for more ID's as I read from other topics.
I've tried with jQuery with two blocks idents like this:
(function ($) {
function doexpand() {
$("#block1,#block2").css("overflow","visible");
}
function dolittle() {
$("#block1,#block2").css("overflow","hidden");
}
})(jQuery);
It's not working.
The firebug/console displays: ReferenceError: doexpand is not defined.
I've tried with a single block too with jQuery like this:
(function ($) {
function doexpand() {
$("#block1").css("overflow","visible");
}
function dolittle() {
$("#block1").css("overflow","hidden");
}
})(jQuery);
and it's displaying the same error.
Note: Drupal has a different wrapping and it's like this:
(function ($) {
//your existing code
})(jQuery);

Please have a look on jQuery Selectors.
I think in your case, it is better to apply style with help of css for multiple elements. e.g. :
<script language="javascript">
function doexpand() {
$('.block').style.overflow="visible";
}
function dolittle() {
$('.block').style.overflow="hidden" ;
}
</script>
Please add class="block" to all of blocks for which you want to apply this style/function, it will apply on all of the blocks having css class "block".

jQuery?
HTML:
<div class="block2"></div>
JS:
function doExpand(selector) {
if ( $(selector).length ) {
$(selector).css({'overflow':'visible'});
}
}
Calling with non ID selector would look like this: (jQuery syntax):
doExpand('.block2');

The above code is perfectly valid in jQuery (which is a JavaScript library).
If you want to use a more typical jQuery code, you can do
$('#block1').css('overflow', 'visible');
You can expend it to multiple id like this :
$('#block1, #block2').css('overflow', 'visible');
You always can get the DOM object from a jQuery object, which means you could also have adapted your code to use jQuery selectors using
$('#block1').get(0).style.overflow="visible";
(this specific example isn't smart : no need to use jQuery if you don't use a complex selector or jQuery functions)

Pretty simple really, jQuery selection is based on css selectors for the most part. These selectors are then translated into an array of dom objects held in a jQuery object.
function doexpand() {
$("#block1").css("overflow","visible");
}
function dolittle() {
$("#block1").css("overflow","hidden");
}

You should never have more than one HTML element with the same ID (Which is why document.getElementById only returns one element)
You can just refeerence block2, block3 directly document.getElementById("block2").style.overflow="hidden" ;
Or use getElementByClassName
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("yourClass")
Which will pick up all elements with a specific class.
If you want to use jQuery like the other answers are suggesting you can match on the element name. For example:
$('div[id^="block"]').css("overflow", "visible");
This will match all div element where their ID starts with block. You can also use other wildcards such as * for contains and $ for ends with.

Here is your Javascript Code in jQuery. I dont understand what you want do do, but you could pass the params in the function. Example under this code.
<script language="javascript">
function doexpand() {
$("#block1").css({'overflow': 'visible'});
}
function dolittle() {
$("#block1").css({'overflow': 'hidden'});
}
</script>
Here is it
<script language="javascript">
function doexpand(element) {
$("#" + element).css({'overflow': 'visible'});
}
function dolittle(element) {
$("#" + element).css({'overflow': 'hidden'});
}
</script>
Than you could call it like: doexpand("theIDofTheElement");

Alternative to document.getElementById("an_element);
in Jquery is: $("#an_element");
It will work fine in JQuery, it's just that JQuery makes things faster and less verbose.
