Urban Grey Side Menu

Author: Dynamic Drive

This is nonchalant greyish side menu that blends right in with most designs. The menu headers are H3 tags with a non repeating background image as its bullet, while the menu links are all list based.

Demo:

CSS Library

JavaScript Kit

Single image used (2 flavors to choose from): or

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

.urbangreymenu{
width: 190px; /*width of menu*/
}

.urbangreymenu .headerbar{

color: white;
background: #606060 url(media/arrowstop.gif) no-repeat 8px 6px; /*last 2 values are the x and y coordinates of bullet image*/
margin-bottom: 0; /*bottom spacing between header and rest of content*/
text-transform: uppercase;

that is great ... but if you run this menu in IE then it is not working good. e.g if our mouse go to corner of the menu then it it will not select the menu untill and unless our mouse pointer not come in middle of the menu.

any how... very nice website for beginners as well as professionals.
