multi column (mega) dropdown with wayfinder

Jacob Nielsen gives the mega dropdown a thumbs up in improving site navigation / information findability: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/mega-dropdown-menus.html

Stu Nicholl’s at CSSPlay has of course made a pure css version here: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/multi-column.html

Here’s jquery version: http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/examples/mega-dropdowns/ & http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/mega-drop-downs-w-css-jquery/

Has anybody attempted this with Wayfinder?

Bump ^

I’m looking for a mega drop down solution now.

I’m trying pure CSS on the default nested list produced by Wayfinder at the moment... I imagine I’m going to have to figure out how to customise the output to get anything useable though.

I’ll update if I manage to come up with something...
