Mobile Toggle Navigation Plugin - jQuery Dro Sliding Menu

The Dro Sliding Menu jQuery plugin helps you create a responsive, mobile-friendly, multi-level off-canvas menu for both web and desktop.

Once a menu item is clicked, its sub-menu will slide out from the right side of the screen. Users are able to go to the next level or back to the prev level by clicking/tapping the next/prev buttons.

How to use it:

1. Load the main-menu.css for the original header navigation.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main-menu.css" />

2. Load the mobile-menu.css for the mobile menu.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/mobile-menu.css" />

3. Create a multi-level header navigation from a nav list.

<header id="masthead">
  <nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
    <ul id="primary-menu" class="menu nav-menu" aria-expanded="false">
      <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Blog</a></li>
      <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Front Page</a></li>
      <li class="menu-item menu-item-has-children">
        <a href="#">Level 1</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu">
          <li class="menu-item menu-item-has-children">
            <a href="#">Level 2</a>
            <ul class="sub-menu">
              <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Level 3</a></li>
              <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Level 3a</a></li>
              <li class="menu-item">
                <a href="#">Level 3b</a>
                <ul class="sub-menu">
                  <li><a href="#">Level 3b 1</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#">Level 3b 2</a></li>
                </ul>
              </li>
            </ul>
          </li>
          <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Level 2a</a></li>
          <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Level 2b</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li class="menu-item menu-item-has-children">
        <a href="#">About The Tests</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu">
          <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Page Image Alignment</a></li>
          <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Page Markup And Formatting</a></li>
          <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Clearing Floats</a></li>
          <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Page with comments</a></li>
          <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Page with comments disabled</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Lorem Ipsum</a></li>
      <li class="menu-item"><a href="#">Page A</a></li>
      <li class="menu-item menu-item-has-children">
        <a href="#">Page B</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu">
          <li><a href="#">Page B 1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Page B 2</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
</header>
