Summary
Whew! That was a lot of work we just did, but I have to say we have a pretty impressive navigation menu to show for our efforts. We learned how to use the Superfish jQuery plugin to produce horizontal drop-down menus or vertical fly-out menus. And we learned how to fully customize the look and feel of our menu to fit our site design perfectly. Being able to hide subsections of the site until they're needed makes a complex navigation structure less overwhelming for your site visitors. It's simple and clear to see what the main sections of the site are, and they can easily drill down to just the content they want.
Next, we'll take a look at spiffing up our animation even more by super-powering it with Ajax.
