Introduction

Mootools Mega Menu is a plugin of Menu Pro that turns navigating large websites issue into a piece of cake. It is written in native mootools and works almost the same as Mootools Dropdown Menu so you don't have to worry about javascript conflict.

Mootools Mega Menu not only has fewer accessibility problems but makes many menu items visible at once with no scrolling steps. Besides, the mega menu divides menu/sub-menu items into groups of navigation options and gives users more scope to customize their own menu’s appearance.

Features

  • Columns: You can set the number of columns in which sub-menu items are grouped in.
  • Flexible Width: Mootools Mega Menu allows you to adjust the width of submenu and submenu column.
  • 2 Gorgeous Themes: The plugin supports silver and opera theme by default.
  • Wrapper Selector: This option keeps flyout menus from spilling out of the container.
  • Animation Type: This option allows you to enable, disable or customize the Mega Menu animation. The animation for Mega Menu only works in LTR mode.
  • Animation Control: You can control time of slide/fade effect and time delay applied to Mega Menu.
