Vertical drop down menu with jQuery
jGlideMenu is a vertical menu that can be dragged and dropped so that the reader can place it anywhere. In addition, he can browse through the tabs in a very peculiar manner that comes with a sliding effect giving a sexy touch.
One of the advantages is that it can store a large number of links and can be removed anytime by clicking the 'Close' button.
1. From your Blogger dashboard, go to 'Template' and click the 'Edit HTML' button. Once the template editor opens, click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the search box.
Type </head> inside the search box and just before this tag, add the following scripts:
The notes in green show you some parts that can be customized. If you want the menu to be static, let's say that you want to add it in the sidebar, then remove the script in red. Also, you will need to remove the snippet below as well in the CSS code:
3. Go to 'Layout', click on 'Add a gadget' link and paste the structure of the menu inside a 'HTML/Javascript' gadget:
When you add enough links, there will be some arrows on the top & bottom of the list which will help you navigate through the rest of the links - either up or down - on mouseover.
Throughout the menu structure, we can change the Menu name and the descriptions, as well.
One of the advantages is that it can store a large number of links and can be removed anytime by clicking the 'Close' button.

How the Vertical drop down menu works?
If you want to add more links to the first level, then add another line like this:<li><a href="URL address">Link 12</a></li>To add one more level to the link, then the line should be like this:
<li rel="tile_0010">Link 5</li>Then in the area of the second or third level, add it like this:
<ul id="tile_0010" class="jGlide_001_tiles" title="Vertical drop down menu with jQuery" alt="jGlideMenu is a vertical menu that can be dragged and dropped so that the reader can place Vertical drop down menu with jQuery">If you look closely here, the link takes the REL attribute which must be the same as the ID we put on the second level. These IDs should not be repeated and always be unique. It may sound complicated, but once you understand the concept, you'll see that it's actually pretty simple.
<li><a href="URL address">Link 5.1</a></li>
<li><a href="Url address">Link 5.2</a></li>
</ul>
When you add enough links, there will be some arrows on the top & bottom of the list which will help you navigate through the rest of the links - either up or down - on mouseover.
Throughout the menu structure, we can change the Menu name and the descriptions, as well.
