I want to be Shaun Inman
kenyabob (303 pencils) | Sun, 2006-03-05 05:48Over at Shaun Inman's site, the legend/god has a menu on the top and bottom of each page that expands when activated, thereby allowing more content to fill the page. I have seen this a few places and I like it a lot, so much so, I'd like to add it to my own site.
I have some additional content that I would like on the site, however, I dont want it always on the page, disturbing my fairly simple layout. Is there a way that even an average web designer could accomplish something like this?

I'm actually looking into something similar myself (though I question the use of mouseover, thinking a click might be a bit less obnoxious), so I can't help ya right now. If I figure it out (don't hold your breath) I'll report back here.
But I really have to say that you, my friend, have a lovely lovely site.
I've heard tell that that's just javascript and css. Very impressive though.
It's a bit annoying. On-click would be better.

I've done a bit of research, and looks as if the effect has been created using the main css and javascript. The javascript file, however, is huge, with multiple scripts within the script.
There is one module inside the script called "Navigation," which looks to handle the drop down. However, if I delete all but this script, the nav bar no longer drops, so there must be a few other modules that control this function as well. I really wish he had published some literature on this, it'd be a whole lot more simple!
Ta da!
