  What I'm asking is if I can do a menu like sample 2 using superfish.

 Hi Ryura,

 Sorry for the slow reply. Superfish does not handle this type of menu,
  but fortunately there is a plugin that does exactly this and it is
 well maintained and feature-rich. It's the Accordion plugin by Jörn
 Zaefferer and Frank Marcia. The page to get the plugin is 
 here:http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-accordion/

 Have a look at the demos here, and notice that using click as the
 event is an option:http://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/

 I have lost track of whether this is the most up to date version of
 the plugin. The one in the UI collection is probably newer.

 Good luck.

What do you mean by collapsible ? sounds like an accordion to me...

Superfish is an improved version of suckerfish. Suckerfish makes
pure css menu compatible with IE.
Pseudo-classes like :hover are only possible on a elements in IE.
Pure css menus require :hover to be possible on li elements. For IE, 
Suckerfish
attaches by javascript a css class named sfHover to the lis using 
onmouseover

and removes it with onmouseout.

Try to look at Suckerfish/Superfish menu in FF with js disable and you 
will see that it is still working.


AFAIK there is no :click pseudo-class in css. Altough it  may be 
sometimes useful (clients and PM often want that kind of last minutes 
changes), it seems to be deviant from the suckerfish spirit to try to 
use it on click.


But maybe you actually just need something like that :
(assuming your menu has the class nav)

   $(document).ready(function(){
   $(ul.nav li).each(function(){
   $(this).toggle(
   function(){
  $(this).children(ul).hide();
   },
   function(){
  $(this).children(ul).show();
   }
   );   
   });

Hello again,

We've decided we wish to do a collapsible menu (on click) with
Superfish instead of the general drop down onmouseover. Is this
possible with Superfish or should I look into getting another plugin?
If it is possible, how would I go about doing it?

Thanks,
Ryura
