Hello,
looking for some eye-candy. I searched for a menu animation effect. Often called “Lava Menu”. I am talking of the moving background image, that follows the active menuitem in a smooth transition. The only ones I know are jQuery-based. Is there something similar with Mootools, or at least an add-on javacript, which can be added to the Joomlart menu scripts ?

(If I remember it correctly, Yootheme did have such animations in the past.)

Thanks for listening.

If you want to use another menu module to display the main menu etc, you can pick from current menu extension available, no matter they use jQuery or Mootools, they are probably made to be compatible with joomla current mootools. But if you are looking for a addon javascript to be add to Mega menu to have some kind of effects, it wont be a simple task to accomplish since Mega menu does not support such kind of integration.

Mmh, thanks for the quick answer, though it is negative for JAmenu (mega). Maybe I should replace it then.
If someone is interested, i found a blog entry about different scripts…
