Only display dropdown mega menu when you have focused on link for more than 5 seconds

I have built a mega menu for a website. However the client wants the megamenu only to show when you have focused on the main link for 3-5 seconds. You can see an example of what I am trying to achieve here https://www.argos.co.uk/

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Stephanie,

I would do some Googling around "hover intent" and see what solutions you find that could work best for you. The article below might be of use:

You can change the time as needed, but would advise against anything longer than 0.5 seconds as I imagine this could be frustrating for the user...

Hope this helps
