Megavator Overview

Megavator introduces a fresh and revolutionary new genre of Web menus that are usable, accessible, versatile and utterly captivating. Megavator extends Elevator Panel Magic with 5 special style themes that transform an ordinary Elevator into a Megavator Mega Menu. The system automatically generates sub-menu panels inside which you can add links, paragraphs, lists, tables, images, and even forms...

and the content you add is Always fully editable in Dreamweaver Design View

When you select a Megavator Style Theme, a special connection is made with the Elevator Panel Magic script that automatically causes your Megavator menu to reveal its sub-menu panels over your page content—instead of pushing it down as a normal Elevator does.
