Makisu : jQuery CSS 3D Dropdown Menu concept

Makisu

An experimental CSS 3D dropdown concept, wrapped up in a jQuery plugin.

Check out the demo (you'll need a CSS 3D capable browser, such as Chrome.)

A current list of supported browsers can be found here.

Example usage

Use it like any regular jQuery plugin:

$( '.list' ).makisu({     selector: 'li',     overlap: 0.2,     speed: 0.8 }); 

The options available are:

• selector Children matching this selector will be folded into the Makisu
• speed The animation duration (in seconds) for each folding item
• overlap Fraction of speed by which folding items overlap (0 to 1)
• shading Default shading colour (null for no shading)
• perspective Perspective to apply to 3D transformed objects

API

Once an element has been extended as in the example above, you can open, close and toggle it.

$( '.list' ).makisu( 'open' ); 

Trivia

The name comes from the object that inspired it.
