# Menu page
## Overview
A dynamic menu container component that creates a multi-level navigation menu with hover and click interactions. Supports up to three levels of navigation (parent, child, and grandchild links) with customizable styling and optional thumbnail images for menu items. Uses Alpine.js for menu interaction handling and includes hover and focus states with configurable timing.
## Common use cases
* Create multi-level navigation menus with parent, child, and grandchild links
* Use consistent image sizes for navigation thumbnails (recommended 64px)
* Configure menu depth and content for optimal mobile usability
* Keep menu labels concise for better layout
* Test hover/click interactions across different devices
* Use dropdown icons for better UX when submenus are present
## Compatible blocks
The following blocks can be nested within this block:

## 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://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/content/blocks/navigation/menus/menu-page.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
