Well Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

This morning before all the turkey and football I’ve managed to release version 4.0 of SimpleMenu!

This new release includes an upgrade to SuperFish 1.3 (note: 1.3.1+ won’t work since it requies jQuery 1.2 and Drupal 5 only ships with jQuery 1.0), and a complete rewrite of the CSS, fixing a number of issues.

Additionally, you can now choose which theme you want to use to render the menu and/or specify your own. The first new theme is black & blue and is based on Jeremy Caldwell’s design.

Lots of other bugs were fixed too, so check out the release notes for details.

Ok time for some turkey, Happy Thanksgiving all!

Finally, the much anticipated SimpleMenu 3.0 is finally out!

Brand new is an entire rewrite of the jQuery menu code and CSS. The menu code is now based on Superfish which is an “an enhanced Suckerfish-style menu plugin for jQuery” written by Joel Birch. This new version most notably adds a hover delay on menu display, giving those fast-moving hands a breather this time around—that’s right, those submenus don’t disappear right away any more, much easier to use :-)

Additionally, I’ve rewritten it to remove the unnecessary AJAX callback, I’m not even sure why it was there to begin with, ah well. That drastically speeds up the menu now and reduces flicker.
