HTML - <menuitem> tag

The HTML <menuitem> tag is used for defining a menu item for a menu.

This tag is no longer recommended as it is deprecated and not supported in the HTML5.

Example

Let's look at the following example, where we are going to use the menuitem tag.

<!Doctype html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML menuitem Tag</title>
   </head>

   <body>

      <div style = "border:1px solid #000; padding:20px;" contextmenu = "clickmenu">
         <p>Right click inside  here....</p>

         <menu type = "context" id = "clickmenu">
            <menuitem label = "Tutorialspoint" onclick = ""></menuitem>
         </menu>
         
      </div>
   </body>

</html>

On running the above code, the output window will pop up displaying the text on the webpage.
