[jQuery] Re: How to turn a bulleted list into a pseudo select box

2009-03-10 Thread Andy Matthews

No one has input on this? I know I've seen it done somewhere, I just
can't remember where.

 The result would be appear to be a select box, but would merely expand the
 list container and display the list within.

 Does anyone have something like this?

Andy, can you explain what you're looking for in a different way? I've 
read it a few times and am not sure what you're looking for.


Thx,
Jack

[jQuery] Re: How to turn a bulleted list into a pseudo select box

2009-03-10 Thread Andy Matthews
Howzabout I show you what I'm thinking of. This is what I came up with. It
does pretty much everything I wanted:
 
http://commadelimited.com/uploads/hover/
 
It's not perfect, but it's meant to fill a gap in our software. Currently we
only have Flash navigation on our dealer sites. A crawler would never be
able to index our navigation. Now that we're using the newest version of
SWFObject, which allows for alternate content in the Flash container, we're
dumping a text version of our nav into the container.
 
Then, I'm going to style and script it using jQuery. The  thrust of this is
mostly for mobile devices, most of which don't currently support Flash, but
DO support Javascript and CSS.
 
Finally, if they don't even have JS, then they just get a bulleted list.

Ah, ok, I see, thx. This comes to mind, but it's probably not quite 
exactly what you're looking for:


http://pop.seaofclouds.com/

perhaps of interest, too:

http://www.leigeber.com/2008/04/sliding-javascript-dropdown-menu/

http://www.givainc.com/labs/mcdropdown_jquery_plugin.htm

You basically have a menu with one item in the submenu: the list, so 
other jquery menuing solutions could work for you, too, like superfish.
