    Default Fly Out Menu Recommendations?

    Hey guys. I think I've finally decided that it's past time that I add some sort of flyout menu feature to my site. I like the site below, which is not a zen site, that allows you to hover over the menu and easily see the subcategories. I've looked at a couple different mods but I was hoping I could get a suggestion or two concerning which is best? Whatcha think?

    I have used this one and it works well and is very customizable using the stylesheet:

    Hey Steve, can I please get a link to your site so I can see what this menu looks like after your install?

    Um, no. It isn't up yet. If you PM me your IP address, I'll add it to the Maintenance list so you can see it for a while.

    So can that program fly out past the first layer of category depth to the second and third layer?

    I don't really like fly-outs with multiple levels - you have to think about people using phones now, and it just makes things difficult to navigate. One level is fine though.

    I agree. One flyout level is fine - any more than that, it gets confusing and messy on the small screens. You can have multiple levels, though. The stock mod supports six.

    Another thing many people forget about with flyout with a phone, is because they are 'touch to activate' the flyout, instead of hover over with a computer, is they have the root of the menu as a working link so on a phone it takes you straight to a page before you can look down the menu and select the actual option you wanted. The root of the menu needs to be a dead link and go nowhere, and only navigate from the options in the menu.

    If you want the features that Categories Dressing can provide, that can easily be turned into a flyout menu by adding a few CSS rules given in its support thread (post 1750).

    Glen, would you have an example link to that mod?
