Cursor behavior in drop down menus

    I am hoping there is some way to control cursor behavior when moving thru
    the menu.

    My issue: When you move down thru the expanded sudmenu and to the
    next tile (from Works to About Composing) the cursor jumps to "Work in
    Progress" instead of "About Composing." I know that this has to do
    with cursor location, but am interested in trying to force/guide the
    cursor to the very next list item when the expanded menu closes.

    Any I asking to much?

    Just get a different menu. One that acts on click and not on hover.

    The problem is not the cursor position per se, it's doing exactly as it should. When you highlight the link, it will display content underneath it. When you mouse the mouse away from that link, the submenu will disapear, forcing everything to move upward. So you're essentially looking for a menu what will work for 'onclick' events, so you have to click to view the submenu links.

    Here's a good collection examples of scripts you can utilize instead:

    Also try Dynamic Drive if the ones above aren't any good:
