A Simple Menu in jQuery
I’ve been wanting to mess around with jQuery and I finally had some time to do just that. I figured to keep it simple and try to recreate something that I usually make in good ‘ole Flash. My project turned out to be a simple menu that when you rollover an item a small bar tweens to it. Then, when you click on an item another bar tweens over to show it’s selected state. It’s a simple concept and I realized I was able to recreate this very fast using only html, css, and jQuery.
This little project really helped me realize not only how easy this little framework makes development but how much fun it can be. There are a few things that I don’t like about javascript but that’s mainly due to the fact that it gives me nightmares of Actionscript 1 and 2.
If you want to check out the demo and source code I have pasted the link below.
