Using jQuery-menu-aim

Question

I just found: http://bjk5.com/post/44698559168/breaking-down-amazons-mega-dropdown, and I want to implement it on my site, but frankly I don't know how.

I read the documentation, and it is as follows:

• https://github.com/kamens/jQuery-menu-aim

But I'm not sure what I should do.

Should this jQuery code be on the index.html page in a <script> tag?

Additionally, I get that I should use it as this:

$("#menu").menuAim({
    activate: $.noop,  // fired on row activation
    deactivate: $.noop,  // fired on row deactivation
});

But how do I know what class I should use?

My menu-code is as follows:

 <h3 class="demo-panel-title">Menu</h3>
  <div class="row demo-row">
    <div class="span9">
      <div class="navbar navbar-inverse">
        <div class="navbar-inner">
          <div class="container">
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
              <span class="icon-bar"></span>
              <span class="icon-bar"></span>
              <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>
            <div class="nav-collapse collapse">
              <ul class="nav">
                <li>
                  <a href="#">
                    Menu Item
                    <span class="navbar-unread">1</span>
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="active">
                  <a href="#">
                    Messages
                    <span class="navbar-unread">1</span>
                  </a>
                  <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">Element One</a></li>
                    <li>
                      <a href="#">Sub menu</a>
                      <ul>
                        <li><a href="#">Element One</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Element Two</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Element Three</a></li>
                      </ul> <!-- /Sub menu -->
                    </li>
                    <li><a href="#">Element Three</a></li>
                    <li>
                      <a href="#">Sub menu</a>
                      <ul>
                        <li><a href="#">Element One</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Element Two</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Element Three</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Element One</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Element Two</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Element Three</a></li>
                      </ul> <!-- /Sub menu -->
                    </li>

                  </ul> <!-- /Sub menu -->
                </li>
                <li>
                  <a href="#">
                    About Us
                    <span class="navbar-unread">1</span>
                  </a>
                </li>
              </ul>
            </div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
          </div>
        </div>

Answer 1

This is simply demo code I put together because I wasn't able to get my markup to work when it was nested. I had to put subnav items in a different box.

            <li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
