In this post we will show you how to display a horizontal menu which automatically adjusts its height depending on its width and wraps the menu items on new lines. 1. Add the required JavaScript and CSS files.

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.bootstrap.css" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../scripts/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxcore.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxmenu.js"></script>

2. Add the HTML structure of the Menu.

          <div id='jqxMenu' style='visibility: hidden; margin-left: 5px;'>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#Home">Home</a></li>
                    <li>Solutions
                        <ul style='width: 250px;'>
                            <li><a href="#Education">Education</a></li>
