AJAX Menu - Samples

AJAX menu is a multi level drop down menu, based on standard HTML unordered list. When the user rolls over a menu item that contains a sub menu, the script loads submenu "on-the-fly" from server. It saves outgoing traffic especially when using a large navigation. The AJAX loadable submenus are separate html files that contain the same UL/LI list of items. These files can be generated by the server side scripts or can be simple static html files.

Move mouse cursor over "Product Info" or "Samples" item. You'll see "Loading..." message while the submenu is loading from the server.

Supported browsers:
Windows OS: IE5+, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera 8+, Mozilla, Netscape 7+
MAC OS: Firefox, Safari, IE

With other browsers or if JavaScript is disabled, the top level items are still accessible as pure css menu.

How to create AJAX Menu based on UL/LI tags

Step 1: Download zip file with all menu files: ajax-menu-sample.zip.

Step 2: Copy 'ajax-menu.files' folder to the same directory as the page itself.

Step 3: Insert the following code into the <head> section of your page (see index.html file from
ajax-menu-sample.zip):


<script type="text/javascript" src="ajax-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<noscript><link type="text/css" href="ajax-menu.files/style.css" 
rel="stylesheet"></noscript>

Step 4: Create an unordered list for your base top navigation. Add the below menu code to the <body> section of your page.


<ul id="deluxeMenu">
  <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#"><span>Product Info</span></a><a href="info.html"></a></li>
  <li><a href="#"><span>Samples</span></a><a href="samples.html"></a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Purchase</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- menu script init-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="ajax-menu.files/data.js"></script>

In "Product Info" and "Samples" items you can find <a> tags that call external files for your AJAX sub menus.


<a href="info.html"></a>
<a href="samples.html"></a>

info.html and samples.html are simple html files containing the subitems in the same UL/LI structure. This code calls an external file for your AJAX sub navigation.

Step 5: Create an external files (info.html, samples.html) for your sub navigation.

info.html


<ul style="width:136px;">
 <li><a href="#">Features</a></li>
 <li><a href="#"><span>Installation</span></a>
 <ul style="width:133px;">
  <li><a href="#">Description of Files</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">How To Setup</a></li>
 </ul></li>
 <li><a href="#">Parameters Info</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Dynamic Functions</a></li>
 <li><a href="#"><span>Supported Browsers</span></a>
 <ul style="width:117px;">

</ul>

 <li><a href="#">Sample 7</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Sample 8</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Sample 9</a></li>
</ul>

Step 6: Copy the created info.html and samples.html files to the same directory as the page itself.
