 * Hi all,
 * This is a pretty basic question about a dropdown menu that I’m adding to a wordpress
   site with ‘Website’ theme. I’m putting a main navigation menu on the home page
   with five main tabs. One of the main tabs is a ‘category’ that I added to the
   menu from the left hand column on the menu editing page. This tab will have a
   dropdown menu with four items that link to specific pages. The main tab for this
   dropdown menu, I don’t want it to have a link to anything, it’s just a menu label.
   How do I accomplish this? I know how to do this in html code but when it comes
   to the wordpress front end system I’m kind of lost.
 * Thanks.
 * Dennis

 * Add a custom link as the main tab, and give it a url…say google.com.
 * Then after you’ve added it, simply delete the url from that menu link. That will
   make it so that it is not linked.

 * Instead of an empty link, it would be better to use just `#` in place of the 
   url.

 * I don’t know how to get to the html behind the front end though. Can you help
   me with that? And for that # instead of url, would that be this: `<a href="#"
   >menu item</a>`
 * Thanks.

 * DJDoubleXL189,
    Must not have seen your post. Yes, this worked. Thanks. And esmi,
   instead of leaving the URL field blank, I added a #. Thanks so much.
