Mobile menu jquery plugins

Creating menus for mobile users gives webdesigners a unique challenge, which can be dealt with in very different ways. One of the quickest ways is to use a jquery plugin, now if you are not loading jquery as part of your site already this might be overkill just to use it for a menu. But a lot of us use JQuery so this can be a good solution.

TinyNav.js

Easy to install, simple to use. It makes a select when the browser size i small and it does exactly what it says on the tin. No more and no less.
