Hi,

I am using lecenced version of Milonic menu.
In mycase I get the links in a submenu dynamically.
I am using teh divhider.js .
I have make the div hide based on the number of links.
Ex:
If a sub menu has 12 links I need not hide the div.
If it has 13 links I have to.Because under teh 13 link there is the select box.

Is there any way I can know the number of links in a sub menu?

Plz help me.

Thanks,
Ravi.

I have another issue. Please help me in this also.

I have a sub menu link, same in two menus.
But for the same link I have to invoke different actions based on the menu it is being called from.How to know the parent menu?


Ex:

I have two menus A and B.
C is the sub menu link that exists in both A and B.
If C of A is clicked I should call D and if C of B is clicked I should call E.
For that I want to know the parent menu of the link being clicked.


Please help me.

Hi Andy,

getParentMenuByItem(_itemRef)

what is the _itemRef in the above piece of code.
Is it "Name of the sub menu"??

Thanks,
Ravi.

_itemRef is a global variable that contains the reference number of the current selected menu item.

If no item is selected its value is -1
