Disable Parent Nav Menu Links

First, go to Thesis Design Options, and expand the “Sitewide JS Libraries” section (under JavaScript). Check the jQuery option, and SAVE your changes.

Then, place this code in custom_functions.php:

function custom_footer_script() { ?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery("#page li:has(ul.submenu)").hover(function() {
		jQuery(this).children("a").removeAttr('href');
		jQuery(this).children("a").click(function () {
			return false;
		});
	});
	</script>	
<?php }

add_action('thesis_hook_after_html', 'custom_footer_script'); 

Note that if you are using the Full-width HTML Framework, you should change #page in the code above to be .page instead.
