After so long time almost two months, i am here with awesome new blogger widget. It is very hard to manage the works and blogs simultaneously. But still love to give the new blogger widgets and tips.
AJAX Navigation menu for blogger is very new widget created by Me in Blogger platform that uses Blogger JSON feed API and AJAX. This navigation menu is inspired from Mashable.com old site. I coded this widget some months ago, but there is no time for publishing this article. And now i recoded and improved this widget and added customizable features.
HOW IT WORKS ?
Well, this widget is works based on jQuery library and Blogger JSON feed API. Your blog must be for Public visitors. other wise the Blogger JSON Feed API won’t works.
The menu is works just like normal drop-down menu when javascript is disabled, And it will turns to AJAX powered drop-down menu when javascript is enabled.
