Description
In the new menu generator I'm missing the option to create "non-clickable" menu items.
What I'm after is that I want to create for example a main menu item with the title "Links" which is non-clickable (no url attached to it) and basically only acts as an umbrella item for the actual links I want to locate as subitems of the item "Links".
- Home
- Something else
- Links (this one should be non-clickable)
- external link 1
- external link 2
- etc
I think that an optional tickbox in the add link section will do the trick. Basically, all it has to do is to "disable" the check whether or not a valid URL format has been submitted and, of course, it has to trigger some modified html output.
Hope you guys can add this in the 3.0 release because this would basically complete the menu generator :)
Keep up the good work and I'm really looking forward to the 3.0 release!

Another workaround in 3.0 is to add a custom menu item with a bogus url, and then remove the url, keeping the label, once it's added to the menu structure.
Would be good to have it fixed in the next release, as having a top menu item (with subitems) as links is bad UI design, even for a webpage. I think users do not expext menus to behave like that.
I also really appreciate the new menu builder, it takes a lot of work out of making the site navigation. Thanks for the good work!

A workaround for now is to use "#" as the url.
