    Hi everyone,

    This is my website I'm working on: m.ideebv.com
    Almost everything works fine but there is only a small thing.

    When you click on the 3th button (wat maken we) you see beneath the text a button with a 'select field' function. (Amstel Gold Race Xperience) This menu is made with Wayfinder.
    The problem is, the name of that button is the first menu-item name of that list.
    Actually, I don't want that. I want to change the name to something like: Click here for the list.

    Is this possible? Because it shows the first list item, not a custom title.

    On this link (http://designfromwithin.com/blog-webdesign-development/2012/05/07/responsive-modx-navigation-using-wayfinder-and-select-fields/) you can see the tutorial of the menu Link

    Does anyone know what I have to do, to change the text?

      How is the button itself getting generated? Can you specify a different field to use for the button text?

      Another way would be to change its text via javascript, since the whole thing uses javascript anyway.

        Hi Sottwell, thanks for you quick reply.

        This button is on the 'normal' wayfinder way generated. So nothing special.
        In MODX I can change the menu-title, but then the title is changed in de list too.
        The title has a only be changed in the list before the list has opened.
        Do you know what I mean?

        I tried with Javascript. But then there is the same problem. When I change a title with javascript, the title is changed everywhere. So, also in the list als dropdown.

        Actually, it has to be a button which opens the dropdown. [ed. note: markgoessens last edited this post 14 years ago.]

          UPDATE

          A friend of mine could solve my problem by adding a javascript:

          <script>
$(document).bind('pageinit', function() {
$("nav div.ui-select span.ui-btn-text").html('Klik hier voor ons portfolio');
});
</script>


          This works perfect. Thanks for your help!
