From the developer
sevenspark's own description of Responsive Select Menu, lightly tidied.
One common UI paradigm for navigation menus with responsive design is to display a select box (form element)
for mobile devices. This plugin allows you to turn your WordPress 3 menu into a select box below a width of your choice.
Features
- Takes up less screen real estate on mobile devices
- Easier navigation for touch screens
- Works automatically – no need to add extra PHP code
Highly Configurable
Through the Responsive Select Menu Control Panel you can:
- New in 1.2 – select which theme locations to apply the menu to
- Set your width breakpoint (where your menu switches from your standard menu to a select box)
- Configure how many levels you wish to include in the select menu. Set it to 1 to include only the top-level menu items.
- Choose the character used to indent your submenu items within the select box
- Choose whether or not to exclude “dummy” items that don’t have links
- Set the text of the first menu item
The demo is built with UberMenu – WordPress Mega Menu Plugin , but it is designed to work with any UL-based WordPress 3 menu.
Based on the excellent tutorial from Chris Coyier and CSS Tricks – thanks!
