[edit] Retractable Menu

[edit] Quick Summary

Users need to access the navigation but they may need the screen space even more. Thus a menu is implemented that can be put aside and also can be easily retrieved.

[edit] Visual Examples

Examples needed.

[edit] Examples found on the World Wide Web

• nikewomen.com, the language selection is done with a retractable menu.

[edit] Use When

When the screen space is scarce and the Main Navigation takes relatively too much space.

[edit] Rationale

This pattern mainly saves a lot of screen-space while having the menu still available.

[edit] Possible Solution

• Implemented using dynamic html, will also require some form of Layout.

[edit] Technical Instructions and/or Source Code

Yet to be done.
