Menu Object Improvement & Options  en

Author: Adrian B.

I'm finding myself a little stuck at improving how the menu is displayed when there are a lot of landing pages in many categories. (abthermal.com)

Is there a good resouce somwhere of external code for menus that could plug into an html object in x5?

Maybe a list box that only shows 5 items (number of items shown selectable?) and the user scrolls through the list and then clicks on the desired one?

Any and all suggestions appreciated thank you

suggestion 1 - maybe a mega-menu could be used.

Example of a mega-menu : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/brm09/mega2.html#

Suggestion 2 - Expandable menu. Example here : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/brm09/expand03.html

Suggestion 3 - Use the normal menu-objects. The top level should be categorized into 5 - 10 head-categories.

Each menu item leads to a page where you make the whole page as a "menu". You could make the page show 3 - 5 menu objects ( "unfolded" ). This should make a good view. It would be something like a html-site-map for your site.

* to see the mega-menu you should hover the horisontal menu. When hovering one of the drop-down's youy should see the mega-menu. Not many links have been made active.

** In the expandable menu the images will be seen enlarged when hovered. When clicking one of the double-triangles the level will be "unfolded". The expandable solution was a test for a html-sitemap.
