As far as I can see, you have this:

HTML

<div id="jqxMenu" style="margin-left: 20px;"></div>

So you give it an id, but you are binding the click event by the div class, which is non-existent:

JavaScript

$('.jqxMenu li').click(function ()

Your solution would either be to bind the div by id:

JavaScript

$('#jqxMenu li').click(function () {
    //Do your thing
}

or give your div the class it needs:

HTML

<div id="jqxMenu" class="jqxMenu" ...=""> ... </div>
