Menu Family: Basic Menu From JavaScript
This example demonstrates how to create a Menu instance using nothing but JavaScript.
Note: By default clicking outside of a Menu instance will hide it. Additionally, MenuItem instances without a submenu or a URL to navigate to will hide their parent Menu instance when clicked. Click the "Show Menu" button below to make the Menu instance visible if it is hidden.
Creating a Menu from JavaScript
To create a Menu with no pre-existing markup on the page, call the Menu
constructor (YAHOO.widget.Menu) passing the id of the Menu
element to be created as the first argument.
Add items to a Menu instance via the addItem,
insertItem, or addItems methods.
Finally, it is necessary to call the render method passing
the id of, or reference to the element the Menu should be appended to.
