LazeeMenu
LazeeMenu is a JQuery plugin that turns a nested unordered list of links into a vertical multi-level navigation menu. It is visually inspired by the menu on Github's reference pages, but with support for an additional level. It support both links and standard text in the expandable menu items.

Sample menu and how to activate:
<ul id="menu-1"> <li> <h3><span>Tennis</span></h3> <ul> <li><a href="/">Serves</a></li> <li class="active"><a href="/">Player results</a></li> <li><a href="/">Leagues</a></li> <li><a href="/">Tournaments</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <h3><span>Ballet</span></h3> <ul> <li><a href="/">Dancers</a></li> <li><a href="/">Famous acts</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#menu-1').lazeemenu(); }); </script>
There are also a few options that can be extended:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('.menu-1').lazeemenu({ activeClass: 'active', initialState: 'default' }); }); </script>
Options
These are the options you can set during activation of a menu.
activeClass
- Type:
string
- Default:
active
The name of the class name used in li elements to indicate what link that should be marked as active.
initialState
- Type:
string
- Default:
default
You can set this value to expanded
if you initially want the entire menu expanded. Setting it to collapsed
will collapse the menu. Finally default
(Which is the default ;)) will make sure that the active link is expanded. Everything else will be collapsed.
