In pa:tabmenu I cannot figure out how menu items get assigned class="active-menuitem". There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason on which menu items are highlighted by default. I see once I click a menu option the active-menuitem class gets assigned but nothing about defaulting or allowing us to assign what menu item is active.

Is there some way to control this?

Clear all active menu items?

I think you can use atlantis_expandeditems cookie.
To add an item; PF('menuWidget').addMenuitem(id)
To clear all item; PF('menuWidget').clearMenuState();

So clearMenuState clears the cookie of the state of expanded items etc but does not clear the "active-item" style from the menu.

What I want is a widget function like menu.clearActiveState() which for a menu walks its children and performs a item.removeClass('active-menuitem');

Added clearActiveItems method to next release for pa:menu.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Why is there no documentation for the Client Side API of the Menu object in the Primefaces Documentation? It looks like there are at least two methods:

e.g.:
PF('mainmenu').clearMenuState()
PF('mainmenu').clearActiveItems()

Do you mean in the main PrimeFaces documentation or the Atlantis documentation?

These look like Atlantis Specific widget methods for the layout so I assume you mean there?
