jQuery UI Menu previous() Method

Last Updated : 21 Jul, 2022

jQuery UI consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using HTML, CSS, and jQuery. It is great for building UI interfaces for the webpages. The jQuery UI Menu widget creates a menu list that is used for mouse and keyboard interactions.

The jQuery UI menu previous() method is used to move the active state to the previous item. It holds the event that triggered the focus to move the menu item.

Syntax:

$( ".selector" ).menu( "previous" );

CDN Link: First, add jQuery UI scripts needed for your project.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css”>
<script src=”//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js”></script>
<script src=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js”></script>
