How to change item text

[Paul]

Hi,

If I change the text of a button it removes span and other classes as well.

This is my code but doesn't work.

@(Html.Kendo().Menu()

                            .Name("HeaderMenu")
                            .Items(items =>
                            {
                                items.Add().Text("Home").Action("Index", "Home").SpriteCssClasses("fa fa-home");
                                items.Add().Text("About").Action("About", "Home").SpriteCssClasses("fa fa-info");
                                items.Add().Text("Contact").Action("Contact", "Home").SpriteCssClasses("fa fa-mobile-phone");
                                items.Add().Text("User").HtmlAttributes(new { id = "userloggedin" }).SpriteCssClasses("fa fa-user").Items(children => {
                                    children.Add().Text("Sign out").SpriteCssClasses("fa fa-sign-out").HtmlAttributes(new { id = "signout" }).Enabled(false);
                                });
                            }))

 

<script type="text/javascript">
    function onButtonClick(e) {
            var html = $("#userloggedin").children(".k-link").html();
            console.log(html);
            $("#userloggedin").children(".k-link").text("It is me!");

            html = $("#userloggedin").children(".k-link").html();
            console.log(html);

    }

</script>

Hello Paul,

I would suggest to use the built-in methods of the Kendo UI Menu to achieve the desired result. You can checkout the following API Reference:

• append() - appends an item to a Menu in the specified referenceItem's sub menu.
  
  
• insertAfter() - inserts an item into a Menu after the specified referenceItem.
  
  
• insertBefore() - inserts an item into a Menu before the specified referenceItem.
  
  
• remove() - removes a specified item(s) from a Menu.

I am also attaching an ASP.NET MVC solution, where I have used the remove() and append() methods to modify the items of the Menu widget on the click of a button.
