Creating CSS3 Slideout Menu #5
This is our fifth CSS3 menu. This will nice slideout menu with fading images (animated with transition effects). Make attention, that all these new effects (transitions) will work only in most fresh browsers like FF, Chrome, Safary browsers (possible in Opera too). But not in IE (transitions still not available here). I just added few hacks for IE – so menu will work here too (but not so smooth). Anyway – lets test our new menu.
Here are final result (what we will creating):
Here are samples and downloadable package:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="all">
<title>CSS3 slideout menu #5</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="example">
<ul class="nav">
<li>
<!--[if lte IE 6]><a class="ie6" href="#url"><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul class="sub">
<li><a href="http://script-tutorials.com/"><b>Home</b><p>custom description here</p><i></i></a></li>
