    </li>

    <li><a href="#">Lorem ipsum dolor</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Lorem ipsum dolor</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

3. Include scripts

<script src="/path/to/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="/layernav.js"></script>
<script>
  $('.js-main-nav').layerNav();
</script>

Notes

  • If using <nav> and need IE 8 support, make sure you use an HTML5 shiv

Optional configurations:

$('.js-main-nav').layerNav({
  lgWidth: 500,                         // Size to switch to desktop-mode
  toggleButton: '.js-tiny-nav-toggle',  // Set to a custom element if you'd like to position the mobile toggle button
  toggleButtonText: 'Menu',             // Text of the toggle button
  expandIcons: false,                   // If false, any parent link will open menu on click, if true every parent link has an expand icon to view items below
  expandIconsEl: 'span'                 // Set the expand icon element to a <span>, <div>, or something else
});
