UvumiTools DockMenu Description

Java-based Mac OS-like dock UvumiTools DockMenu reproduces a Mac OS-like dock in pure Javascript, thanks to the Mootools Javascript Framework. To see this plugin in action, check out the bottom of your browser window: it's a horizontal menu, with icons growing up when you hover them with your mouse. As you would expect from an UvumiTools plugin, the whole thing is degradable, built from standard HTML, and is cross-browser compatible.Like the UvumiTools Dropdown Menu, you can build this menu with a simple < ul > element, where each < li > represents a menu item. Toss some basic image links in there, and you're all set. Here are some key features of "UvumiTools DockMenu": · Requires no Javascript knowledge: Simply call the script with the the ID of the you want to transform --it's one line of code that you can copy/past from the How To section. · Menu configuration in HTML: The script fully relies on existing HTML to build the menu. The way you modify the unordered list will directly affect your dock. · Non-obtrusive: Since the script doesn't generate any new HTML but only acts on your existing markup, everything is visible and clickable from the beginning, even with Javascript disabled. The menu structure, the links to the rest of your site, everything will be accessible and indexable by search engines and users who disable Javascript in their browsers. · Cross-Browser Compatible: Tested in these major browsers: Firefox 2 & 3, Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Opera 9, Safari 3. All on Windows systems. We didn't get a chance to test on Mac or Linux. If anyone encounters any problems in other browsers/operating systems, please let us know. We only support real browsers -- no need to contact us with IE4 or AOL issues. We know about that, and frankly we just don't care. · Fixed position and transparent PNG in every browser INCLUDING IE6: Internet Explorer 6 does not support the position:fixed styling rule which we use in this plugin to make the menu stick to the bottom of the screen, even when you scroll the page. So for IE6 we used a trick which requires the usage of extra CSS, HTML conditional comments and special javascript. If you're interested to see how it works, look at the uncompressed javascript available in the download section below. Internet Explorer 6 does not support transparent PNG image files natively. You must use a special css filter to display them properly. This is a common and simple fix, but here it is taken care of by javascript, which means you don't have to worry about it one bit. · Can be displayed on top or bottom: You can position the menu on top or bottom on the screen with a single configuration parameter. · Easy to update: Adding a new item to the menu is as simple as creating a new < li > element, with an image link inside. Requirements: · A website where you can include javascripts · A valid unordered list · Mootools 1.2 · Mootools Dependencies
