Usage

The usage of ShiftyNav is similar to jQuery UI Tabs, the only difference is that you need to wrap the content divs in an extra div.

<div id="nav">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#text-1">Text 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#text-2">Text 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#text-3">Text 3</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div>
        <div id="text-1">
            Some text
        </div>
        <div id="text-2">
            Some text
        </div>
        <div id="text-3">
            Some text
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

You can call ShiftyNav on the outer div like this.

$(function() {
    $('div#nav').shiftynav();
});

Options

There are several options you can specify when calling ShiftyNav.

$('div#nav').shiftynav({
    'active': 0,      // Active page on load
    'duration': 400,  // Duration of animations in milliseconds
    'scaling': 75     // Scaling percentage on fade out animations
});
