pMenu.over()

Perhaps this is a stupid observation (I'm new here), but I noticed that in Cascading Popup Menus relative to an anchor , you can force the menus to hide with 'pMenu.over()'. For instance: onmouseover=pMenu.over().
Does that help anyone?

Yes, internally most of the script logic is within the over() function, and calling it without a menu name will hide most other menus (as whenever you mouseover a menu, it hides all non-related ones).

This means that you can construct, for instance, vertical 'first level menus' that consist of anchors and non-anchors (normal links) at the same time. A normal non-anchor link on the page may then separate two anchors and instantly hide their submenus (=the submenus related to the anchors) onmouseover, whatever the delay specified for hiding submenus. Something like:

<a name="possibilities" id="possibilities" href="#" onmouseover="pMenu.over('root', 1)" onmouseout="pMenu.out('root', 1)">Anchor 1</a><br>

<a onclick=window.location.href="http://www.twinhelix.com" onmouseout=pMenu.over()>A link that instantly hides all submenus</a><br>

<a name="impossibilities" id="impossibilities" href="#" onmouseover="pMenu.over('root', 2)" onmouseout="pMenu.out('root', 2)">Anchor 2</a><br>
