jQuery Drop Line Menu

Author: Dynamic Drive

This menu turns a nested UL list into a horizontal drop line menu, with each sub menu appearing as a single row of links beneath its parent menu. To polish it up, the menu uses a touch of jQuery magic to apply a nice slide down effect to each sub menu as it is revealed.

Demo:

Important: Make sure your page contains a valid doctype for this menu to render properly.

The external files: The menu requires the following support files, which you should upload by default all to the same directory as your page itself:

• droplinebar.css (inside this file, confirm the paths to the two blue gradient images below)
• droplinemenu.js (inside this file, confirm the path to the arrow image below)
• 

The CSS/ JavaScript: The below code should be added to the HEAD section of your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="droplinebar.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="droplinemenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> //build menu with DIV ID="myslidemenu" on page: droplinemenu.buildmenu("mydroplinemenu") </script>

The HTML:

<div id="mydroplinemenu" class="droplinebar"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/">CSS Examples</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Activities 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Activities 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Activities 3</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Water Sports 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Water Sports 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Water Sports 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Water Sports 1</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Activities 4</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://tools.dynamicdrive.com">Tools</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com/">JavaScript</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Traveling 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Traveling 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Traveling 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Traveling 4</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Africa 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Africa 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Africa 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Africa 4</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Kenya 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Kenya 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Kenya 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Kenya 4</a></li> <li><a href="#">Kenya 5</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Traveling 5</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://www.cssdrive.com">Gallery</a></li> </ul> </div>
