How to Create an Advanced CSS Menu

Filed in: Tricks & Tips Jump to comments

A few people have asked me how did I create the sidebar menu on Web Designer Wall. Some people thought it was done by Javascript. Actually, it is just some basic CSS image replacement tricks. So I decided to write a tutorial on how to design and code an advanced CSS menu. Typically, a CSS menu either goes horizontal or vertical. In this tutorial I will show you how to utilize the CSS position property and place the menu buttons anywhere you want. It is a two-part tutorial (and don’t forget to Digg it):

    Excellent tutorial, I have been using CSS only menus for at least the last 18 months. I think it the way of the future, anyone still using JS outside of a closed environment should be shot.
