CSS Dock Menu

1. Download Source Files

    Download the css zip menu zip package.

2. Insert Code

In between the HTML <head> tag, add the following code

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/interface.js"></script>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
   .dock img { behavior: url(iepngfix.htc) }
   </style>
<![endif]–>
The first part is the Javascript, second part is CSS stylesheet, and last part is the PNG hack for IE 6.


3. Configuration

Don’t forget to add the following code to anywhere within the <body> tag:

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(
   function()
   {
   $('#dock2').Fisheye(
   {
   maxWidth: 60,
   items: 'a',
   itemsText: 'span',
   container: '.dock-container2',
   itemWidth: 40,
   proximity: 80,
   alignment : 'left',
   valign: 'bottom',
   halign : 'center'
   }
   )
   }
   );
</script>

4. Add or Remove Items

To add menu item to the top dock (note: span tag is after the img tag):

<a class="dock-item" href="#"><img src="images/home.png" alt="home" /><span>Home</span></a> 
To add menu item to the bottom dock (note: span tag is before the img tag):

<a class="dock-item2" href="#"><span>Home</span><img src="images/home.png" alt="home" /></a>

Browser Compatibility

I have tested on IE 6, IE 7, Opera 9, Firefox 2, and Safari 2 (although there are some minor rendering issues with Safari).
