Jquery Vertical Slide (Dropdown) Navigation
I have sometimes today to play around with jquery horizontal slide navigation (horizontal accordion navigation) (demo), I want to make it slide vertically, and here is what i have made.
Tested in FF3, Opera 9, IE 6, Safari 3. Dependencies: Jquery & Optional Jquery Easing Plugin.
Javascript File
$(function(){
/**
* Jquery Horizontal Slide Navigation
* webmaster@chazzuka.com
* http://www.chazzuka.com
* Nov 13th 2008 @ Denpasar, Bali Paradise Island
**/
//@ active scroll
var _active = null;
//@ max expand in pixel
var _hmax = 80;
//@ min height in pixel
var _hmin = 0;
//@ loop through matches selector
$("ul#nav li a").each(function(){
//@ in/out handler
$(this).hover(
//@ hover
function(){
//@ child span expand
$(this).find('span').animate({height: _hmax+"px"}, {queue:false, duration:300, easing:'easeOutBack'});
//@ set active to current hovered
_active = $(this);
},
//@ out
function() {
//@ slide back
$(_active).find('span').animate({height: _hmin+"px"}, {queue:false, duration:300,easing:'easeInBack'});
}
);
});
});
CSS File
ul{ margin:0 10px; padding: 0; position:absolute; top:0; z-index:9; }
ul li{ padding: 0px; margin:0 1px 0 0; list-style:none; display:inline; float:left; }
ul li a{ display: inline-block; width: 150px; padding:0 0 5px 0; white-space:nowrap; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; color:#E4E4E4; text-transform:lowercase }
ul li a:hover { color:white; }
ul li a span { display:inline-block; height:0px; overflow:hidden; }
ul li a strong { font-size:14px; text-transform:uppercase; padding-top:5px; display:block;}
ul li a.blue { background: url(images/blue.png) bottom center no-repeat; }
ul li a.red { background: url(images/red.png) bottom center no-repeat; }
ul li a.orange { background: url(images/orange.png) bottom center no-repeat; }
ul li a.green { background: url(images/green.png) bottom center no-repeat; }
ul li a.black { background: url(images/black.png) bottom center no-repeat; }
HTML File
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#" class="blue"><span></span><strong>Bali Web Design</strong>Bali Web Design Services</a></li>

Very cool! Thanks for the tutorial…
I want to modify it a bit – in the actual space that is generated by the drop down tab I’d like to include a list of navigation items. Is this possible? ANy idea how to do it?
Thanks!

Hi,
Excellent tutorial, really clear and excellent design.
I am stuck in regards how to implement this to my current scenario.
I have a website with 12 products, 4 rows of three.
Each product will have a more info, where if clicked it will display some extra text.
Can’t get my head around how to carry this out with your example.
I don’t see a way of doing it and don’t want to create a new instance for each product,
Please could you point me in the right direction?
Here is a link to visualise what I am trying to achieve
