I spent about an hour and improved my old DHTML menu thing to make it much easier to simply drop in. It also uses better HTML.
It's still not perfect; the javascript is kind of crappy, and it hardcodes an onClick.
Still, it's a start. Maybe one of you fine js folk would like to rewrite this, now that it's more of a dropin.
So here's what you do: Take whichever version you need (there's one here for HEAD and one for 4.7) untar it, and drop it in your theme directory.
In your template.php add this:
<?php
include_once 'dhtml_menus/template-menus.php';
?>| Attachment | Size |
|---|---|
| dhtml_menus_4.7.tar.gz | 1.91 KB |
| dhtml_menus_5.0.tar.gz | 1.89 KB |

You might be interested in this version of drop down menus with pure CSS and no js - compatible with all CSS browsers (at least that's the claim). See http://www.grc.com/menu2/invitro.htm
Not keen on dropdowns
Eh. I'm not a big fan of menus that drop down when hovered over. I can see how to do that in CSS but I find such menus hard to use.
These DHTML menus open and close with clicks; when you open them they stay open until you close them, and they remember their state from page to page. That's a very important feature, IMO.
Where is the url to download ?
Sorry, but where is the url of the file ?
Oops!

parent pages?
Nice. I wish there was a way to access pages for parent items.
There is!
However, it's really obscure.
In the template-menus.php that you include, there's a function you can use to re-add parent items into the menu list if they have important content:
<?phpfunction _get_add_links() {
return array(
'admin' => "administration overview",
);
}
?>
In the 5.0 version, by default, I only include that top page cause in general it's the only one I care about. But I can see where there may well be others that matter. Simply add them to that list.
