Good day!

I am trying to add a main menu item without any link to it. I want to create a top level menu item that simply opens with its submenu items and does not itself link to anything.

I have been using the # in the URL but it always sends people back to the homepage. Is there a way to do this without any link at all??

I tried using a placeholder but that messes up the main menu (CSS position issue) and it too links back to the homepage.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
G

You can do so by the following way:
1. Edit Base.class.php(templatesja_olivineja_menus folder)
Search that line:

$data = '<a href="#" title=""><span class="separator">'.$tmp->name.'</span></a>';
Change to

$data = '<span class="separator">'.$tmp->name.'</span>';

2.Add those lines into template.css

#ja-mainnav span.separator {
display:block;
padding:30px 15px 5px;
height:65px;
}

you can add more color, font-size,.. as you want

3. you choose topmenu as type is separator

Thanks a million! I’ll go try it out right now but I think that’s the ticket right there.

Cheers!

Just finished a little testing and it is still not 100%. The style is ver different frm the menu-title style used for the other menu items. I tried messing with it and even changing the class for the separator to menu-title but it still was not happenning.

I found another solution though, not as pretty, but it works. I added LinkURL menu item and put ‘javascript:; ‘ as the URL and it does not go anywhere when clicked on. So it does the job.

Thanks for your help.
