This menu is the result of a combination of my best works on Codecanyon : I’ve put together a flexible mega menu system that can hold 12 sizes of drop downs, unlimited fly-out elements combined with a jQuery script to enhance the whole system. It can be used as a pure CSS sticky footer (with mega “drop-ups”) using the exact same markup as the “standard” mega menu. Customizing the menu require some basic knowledge of CSS and you can change the look of every part of the menu : the fonts, the colors, the sizes, etc. Fully Responsive Menu

Standard Top Menu

Sticky (or fixed) Top Menu

The package contains 2 folders : “Responsive” and “Non-Responsive” so the menu is ready to be included on any type of website. For each version of the menu, responsive and non-responsive, you have 6 HTML files with various examples of what you can do with the menu, from a simple navigation bar without drop downs to a combination of 2 mega menus on a same page. This menu has been tested on many devices and browsers to ensure a maximum compatibility : Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari have successfully passed the tests.The whole menu relies mainly on CSS, it means that if Javascript is disabled, most of the menu will work. Be sure to test the demo with different browsers or devices to make sure that the menu meets your requirements.I try to regularly update my products based on the feedback I receive, so if you find any kind of bug, I’ll do my best to update the menu as soon as possible. I’ve also created a website that compares and filters my different menus by options / features, Mega-Menu. If you’re still not sure about the menu that would fit into your project, you can contact me at any time from my profile page.
