The most commonly used element is the unordered list. To disable a menu item add ui-state-disabled class to that list item element. <ul id="menu"> <li>USA <ul> <li>Virginia</li> <li>Maryland</li> </ul> </li> <li>India <ul> <li>AP</li> <li class="ui-state-disabled">MP</li> <li>Karnataka <ul> <li>Bangalore</li> <li>Mangalore</li> <li>Mysore</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li>UK</li> <li>Australia</li> </ul> Step 2 : Find the unordered list element in the DOM and call menu() function $('#menu').menu(); To control the width, set the preferred with in the .ui-menu class. This class is applied to the unordered list by jquery ui. You can see this using the browser developer tools. <style> .ui-menu{ width:150px } </style> Please note : Another way you can control the width of the menu widget is by placing it as a child element in another element and setting the width of the parent element. <div style="width:150px"> Menu HTML here </div> You can add an icon to a menu item, by applying class names. For the list of icons provided by jQuery http://api.jqueryui.com/theming/icons/ <ul id="menu"> <li><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-flag"></span>USA <ul> <li>Virginia</li> <li>Maryland</li> </ul> </li> ... </ul> To associate a different icon to a submenu, use icons option $('#menu').menu({ icons: { submenu: 'ui-icon-circle-arrow-e' } }); To disable the menu, set disabled option to true $(document).ready(function () { $('#menu').menu({ disabled: true }); }); To get the selected item text, use the select event $('#menu').menu({ select: function (event, ui) { alert(ui.item.text()); } });
