    Can I use a javascript to open a menu item on page load? <body onload="OpenItem()">?

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Hi Matthias,

    You can add "OnClientLoad" to RadMenu in order to call the JavaScript function for opening the RadMenu items.

    JavaScript

    function OpenItem() 
    { 
     var menu = $find("<%= RadMenu1.ClientID %>"); 
     var item = menu.findItemByText("File"); 
     item.open(); 
    } 


    Regards,
    Shinu.

    Hi Shinu,

    Thanks for your quick reply. I have tried your script, but I'm getting a javascript error: "null is null or no object"

    <script type="text/javascript">  
    //<!--  
     
    function OpenItem() {  
     var menu = $find("<%= RadMenu1.ClientID %>");  
     var item = menu.findItemByText("Nachrichten");  
    }  
     
    //--> 
    </script> 
     
    <telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Style="top: 0px; left: 0px" Width="820px" 
         OnClientLoad="OpenItem()"> 

    Regards,

    Matthias

    Hi Matthias,

    Try modifying the OnClientLoad method as OnClientLoad="OpenItem" (without brackets) in RadMenu declaration.

    ASPX:
    <telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Style="top: 0px; left: 0px" Width="820px" OnClientLoad="OpenItem">  
     
    function OpenItem()   
    {   
     var menu = $find("<%= RadMenu1.ClientID %>");   
     var item = menu.findItemByText("Nachrichten");   
     item.open();   
    }


    Thanks,
    Princy.
