Greetings, being a beginner I've been playing with this one feature I'm having difficulty with. You see I have a menu which sub menus have a lot of links so I have been (with JavaScript/jQuery) setting up the sub menus to hide the overflow but then to scroll when the user hovers over the scroll up or down buttons. In the long run I think it would make the site less cluttered. I am nearly there it scrolls, I can open and hide the sub menus via JavaScript. the only issue I'm having is that for some reason, upon scrolling the parent category button is scrolling with the sub menu. To make it work I need it to stay fixed. This is the source code I have so far. Be mindful though, it won't work unless the linked jQuery link is updated (hopefully I'm not expected to post the jQuery file too I got it from the jquery site. Anyhow if someone wouldn't mind taking a peek at the code to see why the parent buttons are scrolling too it would really be appreciated. Thanks.

CODE
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // Script for scroll
$(window).load(function(){
var step = 25;
var scrolling = false;
$("#scrollUp").bind("click", function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $("#content").animate({
        scrollTop: "-=" + step + "px"
    });
}).bind("mouseover", function(event) {
    $(".parent").scrolling = false;
    scrolling = true;
    scrollContent("up");
}).bind("mouseout", function(event) {
    scrolling = false;
});
$("#scrollDown").bind("click", function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $("#content").animate({
        scrollTop: "+=" + step + "px"
    });
}).bind("mouseover", function(event) {
    $(".parent").scrolling = false;
    scrolling = true;
    scrollContent("down");
}).bind("mouseout", function(event) {
    scrolling = false;
});
function scrollContent(direction) {
    var amount = (direction === "up" ? "-=3px" : "+=3px");
    $("#content").animate({
        scrollTop: amount
    }, 1, function() {
        if (scrolling) {
            scrollContent(direction);
        }
    });
}

    });  
  //script for sub menu show and hide
    $(function(){
$(function () {
    $(".MenuFunctions").hide();
    $(".parent").click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        if (!$(e.target).closest("ul").is(".MenuFunctions")) {
            $(".MenuFunctions", this).toggle();
        }
    });
});

As far as I understand you scroll the DIV #content which would include the Category line. shouldn't you rather scroll the UL .MenuFunctions? unsure.gif


CODE
<div id="content">
        <ul>
          <li class="parent"> <a href="#">Category One</a>
            <ul class='MenuFunctions'>
              <li class='MenuButton'><a href="#">Item1</a></li>
              <li class='MenuButton'><a href="#">Item2</a></li>
              <li class='MenuButton'><a href="#">Item3</a></li>
