Free iPod Style Drilldown Menu Based on jQuery is created to help users traverse hierarchical data quickly and with control. It’s especially helpful when organizing large data structures that don’t translate well into traditional dropdown or fly-out menus.
This Free jQuery based iPod Style drilldown menu provides easy navigation of complex nested structures with any number of levels.
The entire menu sits within a fixed-size area, and when a node is selected, breadcrumb links appear above the menu options to both deliver feedback and allow quick access back to nodes higher up in the hierarchy. A lateral iPod style slide transition reinforces the notion that you’re moving forward into more granular data, or backward into higher-level data.
This free menu is specifically useful in traversing deeply nested hierarchies, particularly those more than three levels deep. It also provides a more usable alternative to multi-level fly-out menus, which can present challenges to those with limited manual dexterity.
