It is compatible with all major browsers:  Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and IE9+..this is a Flyout Ribbon using jQuery and CSS3,

The Markup

The markup for this is pretty straight forward.  You need a div wrapper, and within that div an unordered list <ul>.  Here is an example of the markup.

    <div id="flyout-ribbon" class="ribbon">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#"><img src="ads.png" alt="Ads" width="48" height="48" />Ads</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><img src="users.png" alt="Users" width="48" height="48" />Users</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><img src="images.png" alt="Images" width="48" height="48" />Images</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><img src="hsettings.png" alt="General Settings" width="48" height="48" />General Settings</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><img src="tools.png" alt="Tools" width="48" height="48" />Tools</a></li>
        <li<a href="#"><img src="errors.png" alt="Errors" width="48" height="48" />Errors</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>

The Javascript

Simply add a reference to jQuery and jQuery Flyout Ribbon and initialize your flyout ribbon.

    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="flyout.ribbon.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function() {
        $('#flyout-ribbon').FlyoutRibbon();
      });
    </script>

The CSS

In the download I have provided some default css for the plugin, but feel free to make it your own.  There are some css attributes that are required to make the plugin work properly and run smoothly.  Simple adjustment of width's, height's, and colors should meet most of your basic needs.

    .ribbon {position:fixed; top:0; right:0; width:32px; height:100px; overflow:hidden}
    .ribbon ul, .ribbon .ribbon-toggle {height:98px; background:#b5b5b5; background:-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#ececec), to(#b5b5b5)); background:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #ececec, #b5b5b5); filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ececec', endColorstr='#b5b5b5')}
    .ribbon .ribbon-toggle {width:30px; position:absolute; top:0; right:0; border:solid 1px #000; -moz-border-radius-topleft:6px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:6px; -webkit-border-top-left-radius:6px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:6px; border-top-left-radius:6px; border-bottom-left-radius:6px}
