Configuring menu options

Each of the different components in the library has a series of options that control which features of the widget are enabled by default. An object literal, or an object reference, can be passed in to the menu() widget method to configure these options.

The available options to configure non-default behaviors are shown in the following table:

Option	Default value	Use
disabled	false	Disables the menu if set to true.
icons	{submenu: "ui-icon-carat-1-e"}	Sets the icons to use for submenus, matching an icon provided by the jQuery UI CSS framework.
menus	"ul"	Assigns the selector for the elements that serve as the menu container, including submenus.
position	{ my: "left top", at: "right top" }	Identifies the position of submenus in relation to the associated parent menu item. The of option defaults to the parent menu item, but you can specify another element to position against. There are more details on how to use the positioning widget...
