Setting MenuItem configuration properties

A MenuItem has a number of configuration properties that affect its behavior and visual rendering. Any of these configuration properties can be set when adding an item to its parent Menu instance by defining them in an object that is passed to the Menu's addItem, insertItem, or addItems methods. This example ulitizes the following configuration properties: text, selected, disabled, url, and checked.


1	/*
2	Instantiate a Menu: The first argument passed to the
3	constructor is the id of the element in the page
4	representing the Menu; the second is an object literal
5	of configuration properties.
6	*/

8	var oMenu = new YAHOO.widget.Menu("basicmenu", { fixedcenter: true } );

10
11	/*
12	Add items to the Menu instance by passing an array of object literals
13	(each of which represents a set of YAHOO.widget.MenuItem
14	configuration properties) to the "addItems" method.
15	*/
16
17	oMenu.addItems([
18
19	{ text: "Selected MenuItem", selected: true },
20	{ text: "Disabled MenuItem", disabled: true },
21	{ text: "MenuItem With A URL", url: "http://www.yahoo.com" },
22	{ text: "Checked MenuItem", checked: true }
23
24	]);

26
27	/*
28	Since this Menu instance is built completely from script, call the
29	"render" method passing in the DOM element that it should be
30	appended to.
31	*/
