Last Updated : 5 Aug, 2025

jQuery UI consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using HTML, CSS, and jQuery. It is great for building UI interfaces for the webpages. The jQuery UI Menu widget creates a menu list that is used for mouse and keyboard interactions.

The jQuery UI Menu creates event triggers when a menu is created. 

The menu create event accepts two values that are listed below.

  • event: It represents the event for the menu item.
  • ui: It is of an object type value.

Note: The ui object is empty but included for consistency with other events.

$( ".selector" ).menu({
 create: function( event, ui ) {}
});
  • Bind an event listener to the menucreate event.
$( ".selector" ).on( "menucreate", function( event, ui ) {} );
