simpleAnchorMenu by Alexander Sharkov

v.1.1.0

What is it?

It's a little jQuery module developed to help for website developers, when they need to create automatically and dinamicly menu items to headers with id's.

What's new?

• Parameter "menu" is required.
• Added parameter and possibility to add ids automatically into headers inside of selected container.
• Fixed little problem when you select custom attribute to get link text from header but a header dosen't have it, for now if a header have no selected attribute from parameter "linkTextData", script will get text automatically of header.
