Is it me or clickfunction does not work as onClick? What I'm trying to do is something like this (just idea, implementation is more complex):

<a href="http://www.nba.com" onClick="return false;">

This link should be disabled. How to do it with 5v menu? aI("url=http://www.nba.com;clickfunction=return false;") won't work. Please advise.

Hi,

The clickfunction property is separate from the url property. Your clickfunction will still fire, but if the menu item also has a defined url, as in your example, then the browser will load that url.

If you want to disable a menu item that already has a url defined, the most direct route it to it's type property to disabled, like so:

This could be done effectively by (1) generating the menu dynamically from a database, or (2) changing the menu item property dynamically with javascript.

Hope that helps,

Kevin
