You can show the jqxmenu as minimized.

Images

You can show your jqxmenu with small images like 16x16. You must define your img src attribute into SOURCE like below:

  $("#Menu2").jqxMenu(Menu2_settings)
End Sub

Function Menu1_onitemclick(event)
  menuItemText=$(event.target).text()
  console.log(menuItemText)
End Function

source = [ _
  {label: "Home" }, _
  {label: "Products", items: [ _
    {label: "Product A" }, _
    {label: "Product B" } ] _
  }, _
  {label: "Purchase" }, _
  {label: "Contact Us" }, _
  {label: "About Us"}]

Menu1_settings.source=source
Menu2_settings.source=source

Example (JavaScript)

function Main() {
  $("#Menu1").jqxMenu(Menu1_settings);
  $("#Menu2").jqxMenu(Menu2_settings);
}

Menu1.onitemclick = function(event) {
  menuItemText=$(event.target).text();
  console.log(menuItemText);
