SharePoint 2007 Menu IDs

 

If you are writing client side JavaScript code to interact with the SharePoint menus you will need to know the IDs of the <ie:menuitem> tags. Below are several tables with some of the IDs used by menu items. Remember that in the SharePoint page these will include a prefix that might look like "zz22_" or “ct100_”.

If the ID you need is not listed here then view the source of your SharePoint page and search for the name of the menu item (“Edit Page”) or the text "ie:menuitem" until you find the one you need.

    

You would then find the menu item using JavaScript or jQuery routines such as the examples below:

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
 var doc = document.getElementsByTagName('ie:menuitem'); 
 for (var i = 0; i < doc.length; i++)
  {
    itm = doc[i];
    if (itm.id.match('OpenInExplorer') != null)
      {
        itm.hidden=true;
        break; 
      }
  } 
</script>

 

jQuery:

$('ie\\:menuitem[id*=OpenInExplorer]').attr("hidden","true")
