Design #706 - Menu Options

Selecting Your Menu Style

Design #706 allows you to choose from 2 menu options:

• MooMenu - The exciting new menu system based on the ever popular Suckerfish menu style, featuring mootools powered transitions and effects. 

• SplitMenu - Then venerable SplitMenu is a solid choice for navigation. It works by rendering the top-level menu options horizontally, and the submenu/child items are rendered in a module on the side.

You can designate which menu style you want to use on your site with a single control in the design's index.php file which is editable via an interface (called the CMI) as well as in an external text editor.

$menu_type = "moomenu";         // splitmenu | moomenu | module

The Powerful and Popular MooMenu System

Making its return this month is the immensely popular MooMenu. This menu has been developed from scratch using the latest and greatest MooTools JavaScript framework.

The MooMenu is a highly advanced and fully customizable menu system. It features suckerfish style dropdowns with programmable transition effects for an added bit of flair. It is accessible and degrades to a standard SuckerFish menu if JavaScript is not enabled or supported. Some of the great features include:

• Hover support for IE6 using the sfHover javascript class just like in Suckerfish.
• Fully degradable to standard SuckerFish menu if javascript is not supported.
• Configurable mouse-out delay to allow for accidental mousing out of the menu.
• Completely customizable animation effects using MooTools transitions. Can be configured in X and/or Y directions.
• Support for fade-in transparency
• Experimental support for IE6 z-index bug using the iFrame hack.
