A jQuery powered HTML5 navigation menu
I was recently asked to knock-up a semantically simple (but elegant) navigation bar for a new open-source project I’ve become involved with (more on that soon!). Having done so with a reasonable amount of success, I thought I would also share it here for everyone else to use as well!
