Tips : Nice menus getting nicer

Nice menus is a great little module for creating dropdown and flyout menus in your Drupal site. My time to be a good maintainer for it varies wildly so it often sits dormant for long periods. Last week, during the Thanksgiving holiday, I dove back into the issue queue and after fixing a few bugs I spent most of my time playing with new features. The main things that I am excited about are things that will hopefully make version 2 of Nice menus, well, a little nicer.

I am not a JavaScripter by any means so adding optional JS features have been long-time requests that I have pretty much passed over. Enter the Superfish jQuery plugin though and I don't need to know JS for things to just work. The patch in the queue still needs a little bit of love (make it configurable and add some more features like hoverIntent) and plenty of testing, but I think this will be a really great addition for folks that want an easy to use JS menu that degrades nicely to CSS-only. You will be able to choose three JS settings: no JS at all (so CSS-only), minimal JS (that makes IE 6 work), and then full JS with Superfish. If you want to help test or tweak the patch, by all means hop into the issue.
