I’ve been working with CSS and HTML for quite some time, PHP almost as long. One thing that I was never very good at was Javascript, which is weird since PHP and Javascript are both scripting languages. Not too long ago, Ned got me into jQuery and AJAX. It is a very powerful tool and I firmly believe that no successful website is complete without it.
Today I created a Header for a Maple Story fan site. Never played the game personally but it seems to have a pretty strong following. The site owner found a menu he liked at basilmarket.com and wanted something similar without copying from them.
I spent some time creating the layout which was just HTML and CSS to make thing pretty. Then I added some simple jQuery and voila, a nice looking menu.
Click the images above and you can see for yourself exactly how the menus work 
The menu was built from looking at the image below and seeing how the BasilMarket menu worked.
