Help with simple java/jquery menu (noob)

    I have a menu

    I want the menu to drop when I hover over the arrow and the go back up when I hover off the menu, I can get it to work but the menu goes straight back up before you can select the link.

    Here's the code for the menu, I'm really bad at java :(

    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
    
    	
    	$("ul.subnav").parent().append("<span></span>"); //Only shows drop down trigger when js is enabled - Adds empty span tag after ul.subnav
    	
    	$("ul.topnav li span").click(function() { //When trigger is clicked...
    		
    		//Following events are applied to the subnav itself (moving subnav up and down)
    		$(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideDown('fast').show(); //Drop down the subnav on click
    
    		$(this).parent().hover(function() {
    		}, function(){	
    			$(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideUp('slow'); //When the mouse hovers out of the subnav, move it back up
    		});
    
    		//Following events are applied to the trigger (Hover events for the trigger)
    		}).hover(function() { 
    			$(this).addClass("subhover"); //On hover over, add class "subhover"
    		$(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideDown('fast').show(); //Drop down the subnav on click
    		}, function(){	//On Hover Out
    			$(this).removeClass("subhover"); //On hover out, remove class "subhover"			
    			
    	});
    
    });
    </script>
    
    Code (markup):
    Can someone please give me some advice?

    There seems to be something wrong in following code :


    function(){ //On Hover Out
       $(this).removeClass("subhover"); //On hover out, remove class "subhover"
      $(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideUp('slow'); //Drop down the subnav on click
    Code (markup):
    Try to to imlement :
