js fully compatible with highlightable secondary buffer folding menu_navigation menu

The most commonly used layout in the backend or OA system is often a full-screen layout, usually a layout with three rows and two columns at the top, middle and bottom, with a header, footer, left menu and an ifame frame page on the right. Therefore, the foldable secondary menu is often used. This example is to implement such a more general fully compatible and highlightable secondary buffer folding menu.

Features:

Fully compatible, browser test: IE5.5, IE6, IE7, IE8, FF3.0, Google, Safari 4.0, Opera9.0.
Html structure is elegant and concise, without redundant tags, which is conducive to program loop output.
Style and structure are separated, and you can modify different styles in the style sheet.
The currently selected item is highlighted, and both the first-level menu and the second-level menu can be highlighted.
Collapse layers are gracefully buffered with animation.
Most suitable for backend and some OA system interfaces.

Disadvantages:

Does not support anti-refresh. This function should not be of much use in the background application system, so this function has not been added.
The buffering effect does not appear in IE6. For IE6, the effect will be weakened.
Let’s take a look at the screenshots of the effect first:

Let’s briefly talk about some simple ideas and problems encountered in making such a menu.

Generally, I create an effect. My production process is usually to first draw the content of the HTML structure layer, then write the style, and then add some icing on the cake effects, such as JS special effects and so on. I don’t know what process model the experts have.

Structural layer:

The idea of ​​the structural layer is generally based on a perceptual understanding, usually there is a rendering, based on which the most concise HTML structure. As shown in the picture above, the first impression that comes into view is to use an unordered list of UL, but... this is a two-level nested list. This is the first issue we need to consider.

So the structure should look like this:

Yes when there is a secondary menu A nested UL structure, when there is no secondary menu, is as follows:

Of course, you can also use the dl-dt-dd ordered list method to create this nested structure, depending on your actual situation.

With the original structure layer, you need to add some necessary hooks for CSS and JS to control styles and effects. I have always opposed the method of adding a lot of class names, which will increase the page size. Volume, so the simplest approach is to apply one or two necessary class names to the parent container, and then use the child (group) selector to set various personalized settings in the style sheet. In the above structure, how many class names would you think of using to define all styles?

My approach is to use only three class names to control all style display. One is the top-level UL, defined as class="menu", the other is the container of the second-level menu, that is, the nested UL defines a class="level2", and finally the first-level menu item li defines a class="level1" , with these three hooks, you can manipulate the style of the entire structure.

Presentation layer:

The settings of the style sheet are very simple. The only thing to note is that in order to facilitate JS to control the display and hiding of the secondary menu and record the highlight status of the currently selected item, so I don't use the hover pseudo-class to realize the sliding in and out effect of the mouse, but use JS to simulate it. The key code to control the style with JS is as follows:

Level menu style

Secondary menu style

Behavioral layer:

Because as mentioned earlier, we are in the style The table does not define the three-state effect of the menu, so we need to bind onmouseover, onmouseout and onclick events to each menu item to simulate this effect. In the structure layer, we did not define the ID of this total container, but only defined a class name, so we added an extended getElementsByClassName() method in JS (thanks to my friend Situ Zhengmei) to obtain this object based on the class name. Use loop closures to bind these three events.

I won’t explain the detailed code one by one. The comments in the Demo are very clear. Please download it to your local computer to browse.
