Last days I played around with Mega Drop Down Menu's. As you can
read in Jakob Nielsens article
this is "hot" nowadays. By doing some research I came to the
Masterpage feature receiver of Mirjam van
Olst and a blogpost of Guillaume
Marty about Mega Drop Down menus. I put this into a starter
masterpage, since this is often the start of (re)branding a site.
The Publishing starter masterpage of Randy
Risgill is always very helpfull for me (http://startermasterpages.codeplex.com).
I assembled some things into the next Proof of Concept:
SharePoint 2010 Starter Masterpage Feature with Mega DropDown
Navigation Menu on CodePlex http://sp2010.codeplex.com
At the moment the menu is static. In the next days I will make
something more dynamic (you will not need to redeploy your solution
for editing the menu content in that situation).
Update: 14 november 2010 --> change content of the
Mega Drop Down Menu by a SharePoint List:
If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact me.
Hope this will help lot of people.
