Navigation Menu Project
In this assignment, we created a modern and interactive navigation menu for our homework project.
The menu uses jQuery to provide hover-based dropdowns with smooth animations and keyboard accessibility,
making it easy to use for all users. Below is a step-by-step explanation of how we implemented this:
1. Features:
Smooth Animations: The dropdown menu appears and disappears smoothly when hovered over or when using keyboard navigation.
Keyboard Navigation: Users can open and close submenus using the Enter or Space keys.
Responsive Design: The menu works on all screen sizes, thanks to responsive design principles.
2. Implementation Steps:
HTML Structure: The menu structure was built using semantic HTML with nested unordered lists to create dropdown submenus.
jQuery Script: The script ensures smooth transitions and accessibility for both hover and keyboard users.
3. Results:
Hovering over the main menu item reveals a dropdown submenu.
Leaving the menu area hides the submenu after a slight delay to improve usability.
Submenus can also be accessed using the keyboard.
This interactive navigation menu project demonstrates how we can combine HTML, CSS, and jQuery to create a user-friendly and accessible design.
