Didn't see any posted work-around in the list archives. The following seems
to work for me on the ipad by creating a "go nowhere" link that the ipad
can
use to open the menus. Hope it works for others.

In the ~xymon/server/etc/xymonmenu.cfg file, I added the '<a
href="javascript:;">' anchor around the top-level menu items. Like:

<span class="menutag"><a href="javascript:;">Views</a><span class="invis">:
</span></span>

Seems to do the trick. All credit for this workaround goes to the responses
on this page:

Certainly useful. I've added the information to the "Xymon tips" help page
so it won't be lost, but I think I'll keep the default xymonmenu.cfg file
as-is, since the workaround here makes the top-level menu items appear as
clickable links - also on normal browsers.
