Question

I have problem with my menu bar items getting stack in the wrong stat. so I am trying manually to set there state depends on the mouse events. However something is not working I have tried:

dijit.byId("someDiv")._setStateClass(this.selected=false);
dijit.byId("someDiv")._set(“selected”, false);
dijit.byId("someDiv")._set(“active”, false);

url: http://dojotoolkit.org/api/ in dijit.MenuBarItem

Thanks

Looking at the source for _MenuBase and MenuBar, you want to emulate the behavior they get from:

menuBar.focusChild to set the focus and then a combination of closeChild() and onItemUnhover() to remove it.

From closeChild() you can try

item._setSelected(false);

and from onItemUnhover() try

item._set("hovering", false);
