What Kind Of Menus Can I Use

• Menus are generated as un-ordered lists which can be single or multi level cascading and are fully XHTML CSS Compliant and we promise they will validate.
• jQuery and Mootools menu types certainly supported, as we have dozens of examples on client sites.
• Can support multiple menus per blog with no technical limitations as to how many, We have sites with as many as 22 menus.
• Can be used in conjunction with the OpenCube Menu Structure with some basic modification to the OpenCube JS code.
• Works with DynamicDrives JS menus with some simple modifications.
• Easily works with nearly any menu from our pal, the CSS Master himself, Eric Meyer!
• Works with the menus generated from our friends at http://www.cssmenumaker.com/
• Certainly works with those menus generated at http://13styles.com/
• At this point it works with any known SuckerFish style cascading menu code. The fact is, if its built on un-ordered lists, its supported.

WP Menu Creator can be used with OpenCube Menus which is a commercial product licensed on a per site bases. The UltimateIDX has a developers license for OpenCube and can generate menus for projects upon request.

<?php displayMenu(1); // This would display menu ID 1 with no sub menu links ?>
<?php displayMenu(1, 2); // This would display up to 2 levels of menu links for the menu ID 1 ?> <script type="text/javascript" src='<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/plugins/wp-menu-creator/external.js'></script>

Example layouts and css can be found on the project(s) site located at UltimateIDX.com or by contacting us for technical support.
