Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxMenu represents a jQuery menu widget that is used to create a menu for the website or web application. The jqxMenu widget can be used to create website menus, customized context menus, or application-style menu bars with just a small amount of scripting.

The rtl property is used to set or return a value that indicates whether the widget's elements are aligned to support locales using right-to-left fonts. It accepts Boolean type value and its default value is false.

Syntax:

Set the rtl property.

$('selector').jqxMenu({ rtl: Boolean });
 

Return the rtl property.

var rtl = $('selector').jqxMenu('rtl');
