Hi,

How can I make a menu Item to be selected by default , ie. when the menu loads, In my case I want to make the second Menu Item selected.

Thanks

Hello Hemant,

You can try this:

$('#jqxMenu').on('initialized', function () {
    $("#secondItem").click();
});

followed by the menu initialization code, where secondItem is the id of the second menu item.

Hi Hemant,

If your menu is loaded from an HTML structure, you can set the id of the li element corresponding to your default menu item. E.g., the “Products” item in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/vRjng/.

If you have initialized from a different source (such as XML or JSON), items would also have ids and you can use them in your code. You can also do the following:

$('#jqxMenu').on('initialized', function () {
    var secondItem = $('#jqxMenu').children().children()[1];
    setTimeout(function () {
        $(secondItem).click();
    }, 100);
});

Note that a small delay is sometimes needed, thus the timeout.
