Unclickable Menu Item Label in Custom Menu with Clickable Children

I need some help with a custom menu. I’m using WP 3.1.1.

I need to create an unclickable placeholder in the nav menu. So, the children will be clickable, but the “title” in the nav bar is not.

For example, let’s say I have a Shovel Page, Trowel Page, and a Spade Page and I want them all to be accessible under the Tools section in the Custom Menu. In the menu, “Tools” isn’t clickable, only the children are.

I tried the solution outlined here: non-clickable placeholder in the menul . But, if I click the placeholder I get an Alert. Also, his opened Custom Link box looks different than mine. I only have options for URL, Navigation Label, and Title Attribute. I don’t know if that has anything to do with why it doesn’t work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
