Philippe, just wanted to thank you for this link. I, too, have grown weary of the "select" for a responsive menu. It's very visually disruptive when you go to make a selection, it requires multiple clicks, and just seems like a cheap "cheat".
This link had so many great ideas, not just for nav, but for tables, forms, so many things. It prompted me to completely rethink the UI I am deep into designing right now. Combined with some of the thinking in the previous links on this thread (especially, the "mobile first" perspective) I _finally_ think I have a design for the intensely complex project I'm working on. Thank you so much. You saved my sanity (or what's left of it). Chris On 1/24/13 4:51 PM, "Philippe Wittenbergh" <e...@l-c-n.com> wrote: >Everybody seems to suggest those <select> menu solutions.
