Leave a Comment

Here are the list of jQuery dropdown Menu plugins.

#1. Click Menu



Click Menu


A clickable dropdown menu with (theoretically unlimited) submenus made out of an an unordered list. It’s behaviour is like an application menu (click to open, click to close, stays open even after hovering elsewhere).


#2. jdMenu Hierarchical Menu

The jdMenu plugin for jQuery provides a clean, simple and elegant solution for creating hierarchical drop down menus for websites to web applications.

#3. Superfish Menus - Suckerfish on 'roids


Superfish Menus


Creates enhanced Suckerfish-style dropdown menus from existing pure CSS dropdown menus. Features it adds to your menus include:
  • obligatory IE6 hover capability,
  • a timed delay on mouseout, (this is a biggie!)
  • sub menu animated reveals,
  • keyboard accessibility
  • automatic use of hoverIntent plugin if it's present

Works with multiple-tiered menus and multiple menus per page. Great for both drop-down menus and and multi-tier horizontal nav bars. Very light-weight and degrades gracefully.

#4. Smooth Navigational Menu


Smooth Navigational Menu


Smooth Navigation Menu is a multi level, CSS list based menu powered using jQuery that makes website navigation a smooth affair. And that's a good thing given the important role of this element in any site.

The menu's contents can either be from direct markup on the page, or an external file and fetched via Ajax instead. And thanks to jQuery, a configurable, sleek "slide plus fade in" transition is applied during the unveiling of the sub menus. The menu supports both the horizontal and vertical (sidebar) orientation.
