How to use

How you can see, this is a typical list with a div container used to apply the script and render the style. I added pillMenu class to give it a default style, but you can replace it with another class like nav or nav-wrap of wordpress. Selected is the name of the class for the selected menu, this class name can be changed in the options of Mootools class.

HTML

<div id="menu1" class="pillMenu">
    <ul>
        <li class="selected"><a href="#" title="Go to Home Page">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" title="Go to About Page">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" title="Go to Archive Page">Archive</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" title="Go to Sitemap Page">Sitemap</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" title="Go to Contact Page">Contact</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" title="Go to Long Text Menu Page">Long Text Menu</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>

This is the version of css for a horizontal movement.

CSS

.pillMenu{ position: relative; }
.pillMenu ul{ margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; }
.pillMenu ul li{ float: left; list-style: none; margin: 0 5px; position: relative; z-index: 10; }
.pillMenu ul li a{ color: #000; display: block; padding: 5px 10px; text-decoration: none; }
.pillMenu ul li.selected{ background-color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; }
.pillMenu ul li.selected a{ color: #fff; }
.pillMenu .pill{ border: 1px solid #666; clear: both; }
.pillMenu .clearfix{ clear:both; display:block; height:0; font-size:0; line-height:0 }

This is the version of css for a vertical movement.

CSS

.pillMenu_vertical{ position: relative; width: 75px; }
.pillMenu_vertical ul{ margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; }
