CSS Menu with slider using Prototype.js

This little example shows how to make really simple and yet very nice CSS Menu with slider.

Example

Part 1 - HTML

<div id="menu">
	<div id="m-top">
		<ul>
			<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">F.A.Q.</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>
	<div id="m-slider">
		<div id="slider"></div>
	</div>
</div>	

Part 2 - Javascript

Now we add Javascript event that listen for mousemove on div that holds menu.

window.onload=function(){

	var offsetLeft=$('menu').offsetLeft;

	Event.observe('menu', 'mousemove', function(event){

		coordinateX=Event.pointerX(event)-offsetLeft;
		$('slider').style.marginLeft=coordinateX-20+'px';

	});

}

Part 3 - CSS
