XulMenu - windows like menu

[cagrET]

Hello everyone!

I've just finished XulMenu, a windows like menu with unlimited nesting, horizontal or vertical. Behaviour, structure & presentation are seperated. It is search engine friendly and free even for commercial use.

Demo 1 (horizontal): http://gosu.pl/demo/mygosumenu/1.4/example1.html
Demo 2 (vertical): http://gosu.pl/demo/mygosumenu/1.4/example2.html

Download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69763&package_id=105852

Hope you like it!

pretty cool, but they'd have been better if they remained static as the page scrolls.

for the 2nd example that would be more important and somewhat easier to accomplish, by using a fixed position div.

* just some thoughts * :D

Hi cagrET,

Just a thought, would it be OK if I were to put this script on my site so it is available for download?

See the site here: http://www.livescripts.net - Over 300 Free Scripts & Extensive Scripting Tutorials

Thanks,

Jon :cool:

GeForce: sure, no problem. It is under BSD license (it's quite short) and as you can read, you can do mostly everything with it :)

Hi cagrET and thanks. However the SourceForge download gives a 404.

Jon :cool:

EDIT: OK it works fine now

There is already a markup language called XUL. It was created my Mozilla for their interfaces; by not using lists, the navigation is not semantic at all; without style sheets, it is difficult to see the hierarchy of the menu; and with Javascript disabled, the menu is unsuable.

1) Yeah I know and I called it like that because it sounds ql :) http://phppatterns.com/xul/ - open this in Mozilla, it is a xul menu, they are similar, right ?
2) It is really not a problem, you can use lists, the parser is quite flexbile, you can replace DIV with UL, LI etc
3) Explained in 2, it can be easily changed.
4) It is very easy to change, just remove visibility: hidden & z-index from .section in css, and assign it in javascript when parsing the structure of the menu - 1 line of code to add. Btw if you disable javascript, then why not disable css :) It will be visible then.
3) & 4) The real xul menu works only in Mozilla, this works on IE 5.0+, Mozilla, Opera, Safari and more (95% of browsers). What is the problem ? Does it mean that the XUL technologyl sux because it runs only on 5% of browsers ? I was coding it mainly in mind of using it in some Dynamic Web Application. It is not meant to run on Netscape 4, it is search engine friendly and usable in text-browsers.
