Rounded Menu with CSS3 and jQuery

In this tutorial we are going to make use of the incredibly awesome rotating and scaling jQuery patch from Zachary Johnson that can be found here. We will create a menu with little icons that will rotate when hovering. Also, we will make the menu item expand and reveal some menu content, like links or a search box.

Similar to the spinner demo button we use

To make things easier, we created two functions, one for expanding an item and one for collapsing it. The expand function will make the icon rotate 4 times around itself (360 times 4 are 1440). We will also make the item expand by animating an increase in its width. Then, we let the content appear, first the whole div and then the paragraph element.

The collapse function will rotate the icon back, decrease the width of the item and make the content disappear.
