I tried this

menuid: 'drillmenu1',
breadcrumbid: 'drillcrumb',
persist: { enable: true, overrideselectedul: true }

});
});

Please help its kindda urgent.

[jscheuer1]

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

var mySlider = new drilldownmenu({
menuid: 'drillmenu1',
breadcrumbid: 'drillcrumb',
persist: { enable: true, overrideselectedul: true }
});

$('#button1').click(function(){
$('#UL_ID').parent('li').find('a').eq(0).trigger('click');
});
});

Or:


jQuery(document).ready(function($){

var mySlider = new drilldownmenu({
menuid: 'drillmenu1',
breadcrumbid: 'drillcrumb',
persist: { enable: true, overrideselectedul: true }
});

$('#button1').click(function(){
mySlider.slidemenu($('#UL_ID').data('specs').order);
});
});

Or, if you know the 0 based index of the UL you want:


jQuery(document).ready(function($){

var mySlider = new drilldownmenu({
menuid: 'drillmenu1',
breadcrumbid: 'drillcrumb',
persist: { enable: true, overrideselectedul: true }
});

$('#button1').click(function(){
mySlider.slidemenu(2);
});
});

Pick one, do not do two or all three, pick just one of the above methods. They each work by themselves.

You can find out the zero based index of the UL by doing this (after the menu has initialized):


alert(jQuery('#UL_ID').data('specs').order);
