[Review]SoThink DHTML Menu Creator

I've been reviewing DHTML menu creators and trying to see what I want. It came down to SoThink and NavStudio. SoThink is so much cheaper, but I found NavStudio more indepth with more options. I was able to create menus easier with it. I like the overall look and feel of NavStudio better too. I guess many different major companies use it.

Oh, the other thing was that you can buy an unlimited site license with NavStudio. SoThink has a "Designer License " where there's a price by copy. Or the World License is almost $1,500. With NavStudio, the unlimited site license is $399.00. So if you are a designer wanting to use the menu's for sites you create... it's something to consider.

Excellent review Moobs

Shame it doesn't validate (or does it? - I'm going on the fact that their own pages don't)

Thanks for the compliment marc, much appreciated.

The way I compile the menus for my sites and my clients is by using a .javascript include, so I'm guessing it should validate perfectly with regards to everything else on the page complying to standards

Xara Menu Maker, total commercial use, $24.95

SoThink Designer Licence, total commercial use, $1498

So, think.

Thanks for sharing, a review would have been nice

I'm revising for major exams starting in just over a week's time, not enough spare time to sleep, far less review, but afterwards (another two weeks), if I've time, perhaps I will.

PS Why does my status say I'm spamming? That's not a particularly friendly way to treat a new member's first post.

whats the source code like on these? is it quite tidy?

with applications like this i often find the source code and get quite messy and untidy.

It's very tidy, I'll put up a sample .js file today for you to look at the code. I'm a coding newbie and I could edit it without a problem.

ah thats good. apps like this often pad it out with crap thats not really needed and it slows the scripts down

Anthony, or anyone else, can you help me out with this, I created a menu and want to add it to my page using the JS include but I can't figure out how it works, anyone care to help? Thanks!
