jQuery MagicLine with Drop Down Menu

[killquanti]

Hello,

First time posting here.

I’ve successfully implemented MagicLine.js into my WordPress website. However, when I hover over items in the dropdown sub-menu, the line reverts back to its original state.

My goal is to have the line remain over the parent menu item as I hover its sub-menu children. I saw another post that seemed to pertain to this, but I wasn’t able to adapt it to my site.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Here is my JavaScript:

$(function() {

    var $el, leftPos, newWidth,
        $mainNav = $("#menu-main");

    $mainNav.append("<li id='magic-line'></li>");
    var $magicLine = $("#magic-line");

    $($magicLine)
        .width($(".current_page_item").width())
        .css("left", $(".current_page_item a").position().left)
        .data("origLeft", $magicLine.position().left)
        .data("origWidth", $magicLine.width());

    $("#menu-main li a").hover(function() {
        $el = $(this);
        leftPos = $el.position().left;
        newWidth = $el.parent().width();
        $magicLine.stop().animate({
            left: leftPos,
            width: newWidth
        });
    }, function() {
        $magicLine.stop().animate({
            left: $magicLine.data("origLeft"),
            width: $magicLine.data("origWidth")
        });    
    });
});
