jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. In this post I’ve selected 13 jQuery navigation menu tutorials for implementing your own jQuery based navigation and have some great effects. Before getting stared you may be interested in looking my post about making navigation menu using CSS and Adobe Photoshop.
[13 hand-picked Vertical and horizontal CSS Menus]
1- How To Create A ‘Mootools Homepage’ Inspired Navigation Effect Using jQuery
As you know there are a host of competing javascript libraries around these days. Though I prefer jQuery, I’ve always liked the way the menu on MooTools worked. So in this tutorial we’ll recreate that same effect.
2- How to make accordion menu using jquery
In this post I’ll show you how can you create fancy accordion menu using jQuery. In this post, you’ll see two examples of accordion. First menu’s visibility get’s toggled on clicking on the header while the another menu’s visibility get’s toggled when the mouse is moved over it.
3- jQuery idTabs
4- Create a multilevel Dropdown menu with CSS and improve it via jQuery
5- Using jQuery for Background Image Animations

11- Multi-level drop down menu with jQuery
There are a lot of horizontal drop menus around the web today and they are becoming more and more popular. If you have ever seen these menus and wondered how they work, then today is your lucky day! Here I will be discussing my thoughts as I build a drop down menu from scratch and add some jQuery to it to make it just that little bit more unique and special.
12- Seven jquery plugin to build lovely menu
13- Superfish – “menu jQuery plugin”
Superfish is an enhanced Suckerfish-style menu jQuery plugin that takes an existing pure CSS drop-down menu (so it degrades gracefully without JavaScript).
thanks for including my accordion menu……….cheers……
Nice list. Back then I was using Prototype like everyone else but then JQuery along and I know that its going to be my javascript framework. Thank you.
Hi,I never used Jquery in web developement.Thanks for providing this information.Thanks.
Thanks! Great list. I would also recommend http://www.IzzyMenu.com – free CSS menu builder with jQuery animation included.
I love the ‘Mootools inspired’ navigation menu. Why not just use mootools then? It’s more fun to code in anyway.
I’ve tried most of these menu scripts – the only one I’d recommend is Superfish, but even that is a bit bloated for instances when you require a simple, single-level drop-down menu.
Cool stuff.
Thanks for the tutorials.
I like the superfish one. Looks nice and elegant
Just what i was looking for, thanks!
thank you, great to see mine in the list
hope ppls love it

Great jQuery menu examples! Thank you
It works fine on my version of Firefox 1.5.0.1 Perhaps you don’t have the latest version. I run an image gallery myself, but I don’t think type of layout would art? work very well for me as I have descriptions for my images and some of the images are quite large. I don’t know, it might be worth experimenting with.
Great stuff! I love the Mootol and Apple style menus!
JQuery is really powerful.
Great article! Thanks…

Thanks for the great tutorial. Really found it helpful, — BUT, could you fix the typo in the intro paragraph? Pretty sure you meant implement, not impalement. I try to avoid the latter while working on the former.
Cheers

Great Post. Like to use jquery in my site.
Uhh yeah, what’s so great about these menus or jQuery in general? To me this is like going backwards in Web Development.
1. How can these menus be updated from a CENTRAL POINT without having to re-paste the same navigational “li” and “ul” elements on each successive html page? And I don’t want to hear any re-posts about server-side includes either, as most hosting companies worth their salt don’t allow SSI for security reasons. Are we then forced to turn every single page into a dynamic (PHP, JSP, .NET, etc.) page just to be able to use and include statement to update a simple jQuery menu from a central file? Talk about a pain.
2. When JavaScript is OFF or gets turned OFF then jQuery goes buh bye. How is it good that people want to use MORE JavaScript? For years developers and users have been complaining about too much JavaScript being used, lack of scripting consistency between browser engines, security concerns… and here we are PILING it all back on (in jQuery heaps) all over again. Yeah, let’s go backward in web development!
3. jQuery is just an attempt to mimic Flash, so why not just use Flash? Flash doesn’t die when the JavaScript lights go OFF. And Flash can be updated from many central points like text files, databases, or XML files.
From an updating standpoint and from a programming standpoint… I’m just not seeing much to the point of MORE JavaScript (jQuery) in a web world were there is already too much janked JavaScript and where people get upset and kill JavaScript because their browser engine messes it up, or where a security program flips the JavaScript OFF switch, all killing jQuery instantly. jQuery is just more JavaScript… so why are we going backwards in web development with jQuery?
nice collection thanks, designs are also professional.
Just found this through Blue Print’s blog, very cool selection which is going to be handy with some site i’m currently developing. Thanks for the post.
