# On mobile, tapping a parent menu item navigates away instead of expanding the submenu

This is the default theme behavior.

* Tap the **arrow** to expand the submenu.
* Tap the **text** to open the parent link.

There is no built-in setting to change this behavior.

### Disable navigation on a specific parent item

If you want tapping the text to expand the submenu instead of opening the parent link, add this in **Theme Editor → Theme settings → Custom CSS**:

```css
.link-[item-name] {
  pointer-events: none;
}
```

Replace `[item-name]` with the menu item's CSS class.

### How to find the class

1. Open your store in the browser.
2. Right-click the menu item and select **Inspect**.
3. Find the `<a>` element and look for a class that starts with `link-`, such as `.link-brands-designers` or `.link-shop`.

{% hint style="info" icon="lightbulb" %}
This only affects the menu item you target. All other menu items keep their default behavior.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/avante-themes/faq/navigation/on-mobile-tapping-a-parent-menu-item-navigates-away-instead-of-expanding-the-submenu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
