Material-design-lite: Is there an way to prevent the menu closing when an item is clicked

[acollazomayer]

Is there a way to prevent the closing of the mdl-menu once the mdl-menu__item is clicked I already tried adding preventDefault and stopPropagation and I did not manage to solve this.

Thank You

you can remove the click event handler from a menu

document.querySelector('.mdl-menu__item').removeEventListener('click', document.querySelector('.mdl-menu').MaterialMenu.boundItemClick_)
