Nice Menus

Nice Menus enables drop-down/right/left expandable menus. It uses only CSS for most browsers, with minimal Javascript for IE.

Three styles/types of menus are currently possible: horizontal (menus drop down); vertical (menus drop to the left); vertical (menus drop to the right).

Nice Menus creates blocks that may be associated with any existing site menu which can be placed wherever normal blocks can be placed in a theme. For themers, it is also possible to theme a menu as a Nice Menu directly by using the provided theme functions so a block is not necessary. A specific theme function for the Primary Links menu is available. The theme functions also allow a developer to pass in a custom menu tree of their making (i.e. not using a Drupal menu.) There is more information on how to use theme functions in the documentation.

The module comes with a simple, generic color scheme which can be fully overridden either by adding the override CSS to the theme's normal stylesheet or by creating a Nice Menus CSS file and telling Nice Menus to use that rather than its own default one through the global theme configuration. Several CSS override examples are provided in the included README.txt file and in the handbook.

If you are having problems with Nice Menus, make sure you read the FAQ and search the issue queue to see if others have already addressed them.

New features
All new features will go into a new version of the D6 Nice Menus (6.x-2.x-dev) which will be developed in HEAD. The existing 6.x-1.x branch and Drupal 5 will only get bug and security fixes. If you'd like to see new features, patches and testing are appreciated.

Originally created by jakeg who shed all of the blood, sweat and tears to make the original Nice Menus work.
