JavaScript Menu Global Variables - Quick Reference Guide

Here is a list of global variables that the menu uses for its internal processing. These variables are available for use within your own application or if you need to modify the menu.

Note that these variables must be accessed as read-only and not changed in any way, otherwise you may experience unpredictable results

Also note that JavaScript is a case sensitive language and correct case should be adhered to at all times.
