Simple jQuery Context Menu (HTML5 Menu Supported): contextMenu

Navigation is one of the prime factors in the layout of a website or web application. It not only make it easy to learn and interact with the system but also makes it easy to manage content and even retain visitors and boost sales. Navigation can be in the form on menus, side bars, ribbons or sitemap etc. However, there are certain cases when you need to go beyond traditional navigation options to simplify complex workflows.

For instances, when there is a lot of mouse movements involved (like selecting objects in drop down list, reviewing object details and then selecting items from another menu) or when information is grouped in complex hierarchy (like Home & Garden > Garden Supplies > Garden Tools > Brand > Tool Type > Tools List).

The best approach in these scenarios would be using context menu to make navigation simple and allowing uses to instantly learn hierarchy of information. For an experiment, you can use contextMenu, which is a simple yet effective jQuery context menu plugin specially designed for websites and applications with large menus and navigation options.

jQuery contextMenu comes with keyboard support and you can use your keyboard to navigate.
