Calling a menu item from Javascript

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to emulate the onclick event of a menu item from Javascript - so basically firing the function within the correct .js script to redirect to a URL for instance?

Thanks in advance.

Has anybody got any ideas at all on how to do this?

Hi,

I don't understand what you are asking. Do you want to put a onclick event in an html link? Or do you want to open a submenu from an html link onclick?

...all I want to be able to do is to simulate the click event of a menu item from a Javascript function.

Hi,

I still am not sure what you want to do, but you can use the offfunction/onfunction to activate a function on mouseover which is this sample.

You can also set up a function to be activated when you click a link in the menu. For example, you could have a new window function such as

Code:

var newwindow; 
function poptastic(url) 
{ 
   newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=500,width=400,left=100, 
  top=100,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,status=yes'); 

} 

Then in the aI string you'd put this in the url= area

Code:

url=javascript:newwindow('http://whatever/');");
