After reading this: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41290" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41290</a><p>it got me thinking that using a FishEye menu (e.g. using jQuery & the Interface plugin) positioned flush with the left side of the screen would be the most useable type of menu for a website.<p>What do you guys think about doing that? Good idea? Bad idea? Good in theory, bad in practice?

Are there any non-java versions?<p><a href="http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/fisheyemenu/fisheyemenu-demo.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/fisheyemenu/fisheyemenu-demo.shtm...</a><p>Edit: Here's one in Flash. <a href="http://www.samuelwan.com/downloads/com.samuelwan.eidt/fisheyemenu/FisheyeMenuDemo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.samuelwan.com/downloads/com.samuelwan.eidt/fishey...</a>
