CSS dock menu

If you are a big Mac fan, you will love this CSS dock menu that I designed. It is using Jquery Javascript library and Fisheye component from Interface and some of my icons. It comes with two dock styles - top and bottom. This CSS dock menu is perfert to add on to my iTheme. Here I will show you how to implement it to your web page.

Update: I no longer support the questons regard this script. If you like the HiGloss icons used in the demos, you can get them as stock icons at IconDock.

Download CSS Dock Menu

Zip package included JS, CSS, and icons

1. Download source files

Download the CSS dock menu zip package.

2. Insert code

In between the HTML <head> tag, add the following code

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/interface.js"></script>

<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
.dock img { behavior: url(iepngfix.htc) }
</style>
<![endif]–>

The first part is the Javascript, second part is CSS stylesheet, and last part is the PNG hack for IE 6.

3. Configuration

Don’t forget to add the following code to anywhere within the <body> tag:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(
function()
{
$(’#dock2′).Fisheye(
{
maxWidth: 60,
items: ‘a’,
itemsText: ’span’,
container: ‘.dock-container2′,
itemWidth: 40,
proximity: 80,
alignment : ‘left’,
valign: ‘bottom’,
halign : ‘center’
}
)
}
);
</script>

4. Add or remove item

To add menu item to the top dock (note: span tag is after the img tag):

<a class="dock-item" href="#"><img src="images/home.png" alt="home" /><span>Home</span></a>

To add menu item to the bottom dock (note: span tag is before the img tag):

<a class="dock-item2" href="#"><span>Home</span><img src="images/home.png" alt="home" /></a>

Browser Compatibility

I have tested on IE 6, IE 7, Opera 9, Firefox 2, and Safari 2 (although there are some minor rendering issues with Safari).

    Hey, nice site!

    Just noticed something, very minor, but in your title tag of the Valid XHTML in the footer, you have “complaint” and it should be “compliant” ;)
