I have used SuperFish menus in a couple WordPress themes which are
based on the Sandbox theme.
To get SuperFish to load correctly, I had to run this jQuery script:
// Need to initialize jQuery and the SuperFish menus
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('ul.sf-menu').superfish({
delay: 250,
animation: {opacity:'show',height:'show'},
speed: 'fast',
autoArrows: true,
dropShadows: true,
pathClass: 'current_page_item'});
});
Your pathClass argument might be different depending on how your theme
assigns a class to the current page. It has been my experience that
you will not be able to use the jQuery $() shortcut notation with
WordPress because so many things make use of jQuery.
You can see SuperFish menus working with WordPress on this web site:
