A Device Agnostic Approach to Complex Site Navigation with Support for Touch and Keyboard Accessibility
A mobile-first example of using media queries and jQuery to make a decent site menu with drop downs. Special attention is paid to touch screens using touch events and tap targets. This is something I use to test different navigation techniques and may change as I iterate over different solutions to the problem. Basically I want a simple model to build upon when working on sites from scratch.
Note: If you find a bug, please file an issue and note device and browser versions. Use the Demo as a point of reference for bugs. I can't offer my time to debug your specific code.

FlexNav is unlicensed. Do whatever you want with it. :) Set Your Code Free
Start with a simple unordered list, adding in the class and data attributes:
<ul class="flexnav" data-breakpoint="800"> <li>...</li> </ul>Add the small screen menu button somewhere outside your navigation markup:
<div class="menu-button">Menu</div>For a single page site with id anchors, add .one-page class to <body>, .menu-button, and FlexNav <ul>:
<ul class="flexnav one-page" data-breakpoint="800"> <li>...</li> </ul> Add flexnav.css to the head of your document
<link href="css/flexnav.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" / >Add jquery.flexnav.min.js before closing body tag and after jQuery
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.flexnav.min.js"></script>Initialize
<script>
$(".flexnav").flexNav();
</script>$(".flexnav").flexNav({
'animationSpeed': 250, // default for drop down animation speed
'transitionOpacity': true, // default for opacity animation
'buttonSelector': '.menu-button', // default menu button class name
'hoverIntent': false, // Change to true for use with hoverIntent plugin
'hoverIntentTimeout': 150, // hoverIntent default timeout
'calcItemWidths': false, // dynamically calcs top level nav item widths
'hover': true // would you like hover support?
