            for (var i = 0; i < toggleIconButtons.length; i++) {
                var toggleIconButton = toggleIconButtons[i];
                if (toggleIconButton.innerText == "Toggle") {
                    toggleIconButton.innerText = "";
                }
            }
            
        }
    </script>
    <telerik:RadMenu RenderMode="Lightweight" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadMenu1" CssClass="mainMenu" runat="server" ShowToggleHandle="true">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Products">
