Issue with link in chromemenu main item with dropdown feature

Hi,

I am trying to incorperate chromemenu in a website. I have put the building of the menu structure into a js file, so that it can easily be changed on one position in the website, and added it into several htm pages within the site.

When I try to add a link to the main item AND use a reference to a dropdown on that main item, the link isn't followed when clicked on:

document.write("<div class='chromestyle' id='chromemenu'>")
document.write("<ul>")
document.write("<li><a href='default.htm' rel='dropmenu1'>Home</a></li>")
document.write("</ul>")
document.write("</div>")

document.write("<div id='dropmenu1' class='dropmenudiv' style='width: 170px;'>")
document.write("<a href='welkom_historie.htm'>Historie</a>")
document.write("<a href='welkom_organogram.htm'>Organogram</a>")
document.write("</div>")

When I remove the rel='dropmenu1' it does work:

document.write("<div class='chromestyle' id='chromemenu'>")
document.write("<ul>")
document.write("<li><a href='default.htm'>Home</a></li>")
document.write("</ul>")
document.write("</div>")

This is tested in IE7.

Is there a way to work around this behaviour?

If I understood you correctly, inside the .js file of the menu, just change the line near the top:

disablemenuclick: false, //when user clicks on a menu item with a drop down menu, disable menu item's link?

to false.

you understood me correctly! this does the trick... this reminds me to look at the code the next time, especially when it is commented like this. :-)
