## JavaScript files

This menu uses jQuery library and jQuery placeholder plugin. These files need only for placeholder support in IE8 and IE9, so don't include them if you are not using forms.

## Color schemes

There are 9 color schemes at your disposal. Cyan is the default scheme and to choose other you need to include appropriate css file. For example, if you want to use orange scheme include sky-mega-menu-orange.css file:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/sky-mega-menu.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/sky-mega-menu-orange.css">
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
    	<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/sky-mega-menu-ie8.css">
    	<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->

    <!--[if lt IE 10]>
    	<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    	<script src="js/jquery.placeholder.min.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->

## Mobile versions

Mega Menu includes 3 different responsive versions: icons, stack and switcher. To choose one of them you need to add specific class to the main container: sky-mega-menu-response-to-switcher, sky-mega-menu-response-to-stack or sky-mega-menu-response-to-icons. If you don't want to use responsiveness just do not add any of these classes.

    <ul class="sky-mega-menu sky-mega-menu-response-to-icons">
    	<!-- home -->
    	<li>
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-home"></i>Home</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ home -->

    	...

    	<!-- contacts -->
    	<li class="right">
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-phone"></i>Contacts</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ contacts -->
    </ul>

Also, when you are using switcher version you need to add additional element:

    <ul class="sky-mega-menu sky-mega-menu-response-to-icons">
    	<!-- home -->
    	<li>
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-home"></i>Home</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ home -->

    	<!-- switcher -->
    	<li class="switcher">
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-reorder"></i>Menu</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ switcher -->

    	...

    	<!-- contacts -->
    	<li class="right">
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-phone"></i>Contacts</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ contacts -->
    </ul>

## Animations

The default animations effect is fade and there are 3 additional classes for choosing animations: sky-mega-menu-anim-scale, sky-mega-menu-anim-flip, sky-mega-menu-anim-slide. For example, if you want scale animation effect:

    <ul class="sky-mega-menu sky-mega-menu-anim-scale">
    	<!-- home -->
    	<li>
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-home"></i>Home</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ home -->

    	...

    	<!-- contacts -->
    	<li class="right">
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-phone"></i>Contacts</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ contacts -->
    </ul>

## Positions

To change menu position you need to add one of 3 classes: sky-mega-menu-pos-right, sky-mega-menu-pos-bottom, sky-mega-menu-pos-left. If you need fixed version of the menu add sky-mega-menu-fixed class to the menu element:

    <ul class="sky-mega-menu sky-mega-menu-pos-left sky-mega-menu-fixed">
    	<!-- home -->
    	<li>
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-home"></i>Home</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ home -->

    	...

    	<!-- contacts -->
    	<li class="right">
    		<a href="#"><i class="icon-phone"></i>Contacts</a>
    	</li>
    	<!--/ contacts -->
    </ul>

## Icons

There are 361 font icons included. To use one of them you need to add <i> tag with appropriate class. For example, if we need user icon:

    <li>
    	<a><i class="icon-user"></i>Profile</a>
    </li>

All available classes for icons you can find here.
