Introducing MenuMatic
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
A couple of years ago when I got into web design I decided to make my own javascript drop-down menu based on the fact that I could not find one out there with all the features I wanted. Several versions later when I found and fell in love with MooTools I immediately rewrote it for mootools. I have been using this for websites for some time now and recently made some more improvements and decided to release it for download. I plan on making several more sweeping improvements in the not-to-distant future (sometime before the holidays hopefully).
I mentioned in a previous post that I would be releasing this script under the name MooMenu but after some googling I found that it seemed that name had been used so I finally settled on the more original name of MenuMatic.
Essentially MenuMatic takes an ordered or unordered list of links and turns it into a dynamic drop down menu system with loads of options. Some advantages of MenuMatic are that it is based on semantic xthml structure, it is completely keyboard accessible, and easier to use than CSS based menus alone since you can adjust the hideDelay option, however it is based on a keyboard accessible version of Suckerfish Dropdowns for users without javascript enabled.
It should be pretty solid but as always email me or post a comment if you find any bugs.
