item.open not working

[Sean]

I'm using the latest asp radcontrols and trying to open a menu item up by default when the page displays.  I'm using the following js sample code from this site:

 

function openMenu() {

 

  var menu = $find("<%= MainMenu.ClientID %>");

 

  var item = menu.findItemByText("Invoices");

  item.open();

 

}

but VS2008 stops at item.open() and says the method doesn't exist.  I can inspect item, see that it's not null, it has a value and see a method list which includes stuff like focus, expand, show, etc but it's right, there's no open method in the list.

Any idea what's wrong?  I found a few different samples on the site but they all call item.open.

Hello Sean,

I tried the code in my end and its working fine for me. I am not sure about the issue at your side. I called the openMenu() function from client side pageLoad(). Try calling the openMenu() from pageLoad and see whether its working fine for you.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function pageLoad()
{
    openMenu();
}

function openMenu()
{
    var menu = $find("<%= MainMenu.ClientID %>");
    var item = menu.findItemByText("Invoices");
    item.open();
}
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.
