Allow Menu Items to Have a CSS Class

Note: Secure Content
Because the popup content is loaded via AJAX be sure the page with the menu item and the popup base page share the same URL protocol. For example if your homepage is http://homepage.com you cannot have a popup with https://homepage.com/my-account as you are not allowed to request secure content from a non-secure origin.
