Live demo

dhtmlxMenu is flexible, powerful, lightweight and easy to use. It can be easily configured as a drop down menu or a context menu. You can freely define visual menu appearance and structure by simply changing its parameters. Menu items can be aligned either on the left or on the right side of the menu panel. Since v2.5, dhtmlxMenu has supported RTL mode (might be incompatible with some IE versions).

Like other DHTMLX components, our JavaScript menu provides cross-browser/multi-platform compatibility, a powerful client-side API, and a wide range of customization options (through JavaScript or XML). Dynamic loading from XML offers the ability to change the navigation menu completely without reloading.

This Ajax-powered dynamic menu allows you to create fast-loading navigation systems in a matter of minutes. Starting with v.2.0, dhtmlxMenu has provided easy ways to integrate with other components of the DHTMLX product line. It can easily be included in dhtmlxWindows, dhtmlxLayout, and dhtmlxAccordion. It can also be used as a context menu for dhtmlxGrid, TreeGrid, and dhtmlxTree. With a new skin, introduced in version 2.5, all the components took on a slick and clean look which can perfectly match the design of any modern website or application.
