disable menu item

[xren]

I like to disable a menu item. Currently I use this code in javascript before page:

controls.MENUITEM1.setEnable(false).

However, it still changes when hover, and still clickable - though no action after click.

I would like to have it totally greyout and not clickable when disable it. How can this be done?

Thanks,

Hi Xiaoli,

The simplest approach would be to hide the menu item. Is there any reason not to do that instead?

We would like user know that they have the choice but sometimes, it is disabled.

In that case, you can try styling the menu item in javascript as well. After you set it as disabled, set it's style, and hover styles to look greyed out.
