This month, we covered different techniques for using CSS to style navigation menus. We used a number of online resources to demonstrate different techniques for taking a set of links and styling them to display as interesting and functional navigation elements. The sites are below, and I encourage you to try their examples in order to develop your CSS abilities. (These links open into new browser windows.)
- 3D button effect
- Go to number 9 on this list of favorite tricks to see the 3D effect that we demonstrated. The rest of the tricks are worth your time as well.
- Menu tutorial
- We followed this tutorial from one of our favorite CSS sites to create a vertical menu from a simple line of links and then a horizontal menu from the same CSS by just adding a couple of properties.
- Tableless rollover navigation bars
- This simple CSS creates a nice horizontal menu bar with a rollover effect.
- List-u-Like CSS Generator
- Instead of writing your CSS and guessing how it will look, try this generator to just make your property and value selections and then preview the results.
- Tabbed menus
- This site has a whole collection of different tabbed menus using CSS. The site says they are free. Just look at the source for the techniques used.
