jQuery Forum

The attributes of the ui parameter are documented. The only attribute seems to be item, which appears for the blur, focus, and select events. It is a jQuery object containing the currently active menu item.

1. $('#menu').menu({select: function(event, ui) {
2.       // Send the ui value to the message div
3.       $('#message').text(ui.item.text());
4. }});

@kbwood.au: Thanks for your reply. I must be confused. Where did you get the .text() attribute from? That's the doc I need. All I want to find is the current index that was selected so I can make a switch statement. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@kbwood.au: Once again thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It seems that the index is gotten with the ui.item.index() call.
