CodingForums.com - Jquery mouse out still show sub nav if over

I'm trying to create a menu system with jQuery and i am stuck. any help would be appreciated. I have one main navigation and each item in it has a submenu to be displayed... I'm trying to make it so if you move the mouse over one of the items in the main menu, the sub menu for that item is shown so you can move your mouse over to the submenu and keep the styling "hovered" for the main menu item, allowing you to select a submenu item. If your mouse move off from all menu items, the complete menu is shown as what has a class of "active". I hope that makes sense. LOL
