JavaScript API
jQuery events are fired each time a flyout or mega menu is open and closed. The events are “open_panel” and “close_panel”. You can also manipulate the menu (open and close sub menus) using JavaScript.
Important reading: How to use these examples
To use these examples, install the “TC Custom JavaScript” plugin, then paste one of the following options into the Appearance > Custom JavaScript page.
If you would prefer to use your own JavaScript file, you must make sure it is output after the maxmegamenu.js file. You can do this by adding “megamenu” added as a dependency to “wp_enqueue_script” for your custom script.
