Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu 2 - Expression Web Add-In

4.7/5 496 votes

Create professional full-featured CSS drop down menus in a few easy steps.

This powerful Expression Web add-in completely automates the process of creating and managing professional
horizontal and vertical CSS drop down menus.

Based on popular and most widely accepted Suckerfish / Son of Suckerfish CSS dropdown menu technique, and
enhanced with JavaScript behaviors, this CSS menu guarantees the highest level of compatibility, accessibility and
user experience.

Enhanced user experience

It is hard to overestimate the significance of a first impression and
how much a navigation menu contributes into your site's look and
feel. If your drop down menu is slow to start, is jerky, flickering, or
irritates your visitors by accidental closing, it surely does not serve
your site well. In Ajatix we worked hard to make sure our CSS
menu meets the top standards of usability.

Fast to start - lightweight CSS and JavaScript files optimized

for each particular menu, optimized event handlers and pure
CSS base guarantee instant start. Drop down menus are
ready to work as soon as they appear on a page.
Smoother navigation - adjustable opening and closing
delays and mouse movement prediction make the menu
forgivable to mouse movement errors and prevent accidental
closing and flickering of drop downs.
Animated opening - optional roll, slide and fade animations
with adjustable speed, direction and easing make drop downs

appear more natural.

Highlight current page - highlight the item linking to the currently viewed page to let your site visitor
know where he is on your site.
Accessible - the Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu complies with W3C Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines and is accessible to the widest range of users.
Cross-browser compatible - works in all currently used browsers (such as IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, Firefox,
Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc.) and in most outdated browsers (including IE5.x, IE6), degrades gracefully in
very old browsers.

Capable of working in JavaScript-disabled browsers - the Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu is based on
a Suckerfish-styled pure CSS menu design capable of working in JavaScript-disabled browsers.
Advanced support of touch devices - designed for top-notch user experience on iPhone, iPad, Android,
and other touch devices. Now enhanced with Tap Away to Close feature.
Responsive - adapts to viewport size. Fluid grid layouts supported.

Professional look - designed by professional programmers and designers Ajatix CSS menus improve
overall impression of your site and add credibility to it.

Improved Search engine optimization

A navigation menu is one of the few site elements containing links and placed on every page of your site. How
much can it contribute into your site search engine ranking? Can you afford to neglect that factor or would you
rather use a professional CSS menu optimized for better rank, higher position and more targeted visitors?

Separated structure, style and behavior - in accordance with W3C recommendations menu structure
(HTML markup) is kept separately from style (CSS file) and behavior (JavaScript file).
Nested unordered lists - your menu structure is presented to search engines in semantically correct,
hierarchically structured form, just the way they love it.
Links on page - unlike pure JavaScript and DHTML menus, the Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu does not
keep links inside JavaScript, the links are present in the page source and are crawlable by search engine
spiders.
Text over images - the text on buttons is not made with solid images, this is a real text that can optionally
be placed over a background image. Search engines highly respect this text within anchors.
Link titles - title attributes can be added to links to provide more information about the links.
Valid HTML and CSS - the menu markup complies with HTML, XHTML and CSS standards and passes W3C
and Expression Web validity checks.

Unobtrusive JavaScript - separate behavior layer builds additional functionality on a pure CSS base.
Written in accordance with best JavaScript programming practices and contains no styles or links inside it.

We have put great effort into making the Advanced CSS Drop Down menu simple to set up and modify, and hope
that you will appreciate the flexibility and intuitiveness of the add-in's GUI.

based on options selected by you.

style or structure with few comprehensive clicks.
