Newly revised Toolbar with MenuButton (aero theme):
New menus (only 1 theme so far):
The menus include full keyboard support and work like desktop menus (no auto hide, they are click to hide).
The menus weigh in at 10kb which is much less than YUI 46kb + 40kb (container core). They may be missing a few features (like the menubar component) in this version, but it does support something extra I think will prove to be useful. Along with the built-in MenuItem types, items can be any HTML element and can be rendered from a template. This will allow Office 2007 style menus. I will come up with some example of this functionality before the official release.
'kin' 'ell! I can't wait to get my hands on that! The YUI menu-min.js is 55K, and it's an unwieldy system extending the heavyweight container class, Overlay which requires container-min.js at 66K.
Will it be possible to build the menu from markup and have the constructor/initialization massage the DOM into shape, or will it be from Jacascript only?
