Add "collapsible" class to menu items that have children

[digitalnature]

Items from custom menus in WP 3 have classes like:

menu-item
menu-item-type-TYPE
menu-item-ID

and if the current menu item is active, also:

current-menu-item

or

current-menu-ancestor

It would useful for theme developers if you also added another class on menu items that have children, like "collapsible", or "menu-with-children" :)

this will allow designers to add things like arrows in menus easier, without having to resort to javascript hacks to check if the list element has children...

I found this while I was looking for a way to style parent menu items without using nasty javascript. I found a very nice solution ​here (basically taking the two added lines from ​this and adding it to the default WalkerNavMenu->display_element() function which simply checks to see if the menu item has children, and if so, appends the appropriate class to it.

I'll be preparing and attaching a patch ASAP.

The patch looks great. Does this ticket still have any traction? Nacin's post was so long ago.

This was fixed in #23834. There is now a class menu-item-has-children for parent menu items.
