AUI Dropdown Menu
Introduction
The AUI Dropdown Menu can be a nice way to present links to other sites on your page.
The AUI Dropdown Menu
The plguin breaks down the above menu in three elements (macros):
Element | Description | Macro Name |
---|---|---|
Button | The dropdown button. It has a title and clicking on it opens a menu. | AUI Dropdown Button |
Menu Section | Sections in the menu. Each section has a title (gray capitals) and a horizontal line divider at the bottom. | AUI Dropdown Menu Section |
Menu Link | An entry in a section that links to another site. | AUI Dropdown Menu Link |
There is a clear hierarchy to these elements/macros and that reflects in the way you nest these macros on your page.
