How to create a menu tree using HTML

Question

Hello,I need to create a menu tree using HTML. I had a search on Google, but they are providing some software to download in order to create this. But I need some script and HTML tags to do this. Can anyone help me solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could use JavaScript to generate the menu - for example, have a look at the plugin jQuery - Menu tree.

Answer 2

With a bit of javascript and a knowledge around CSS you can convert a simple UL LI list to a menu tree. its right that you can use jQuery if you understand it.

You can narrow your google search by Menu Tree using UL Li. or CSS to convert UL LI to tree.

Answer 3

Navigation menus are mostly created using a combination of UL and LI.

<UL id="Menu">
    <LI>Home</LI>
    <LI>Links</LI>
</UL>

And you can insert UL inside LI element and thus get a tree structure for navigation.

Answer 4

hmm ... i am not quite sure what exactly is your problem.

so far, with html you can structur lists by using nasted ul li-tag combinations. while ul initiates a list and li a list item in it. it is allowed to use a ul tag inner a li tag ...

Answer 8

I am not sure if you will find your answer, but here is a list with several different types of vertical menus http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic2/index.htm no javascript is involved in those examples

Answer 9

You don't need to use JavaScript (unless you want compatibility with outdated browsers), you can achieve it with HTML+CSS alone. And in a much more semantically-correct way. :)

You can make vertical dropdown menus or (prettier example) horizontal menus using the techniques explained in the Sons of Suckerfish article at HTMLDog.
Simple and meaningful.
