I need to make a mega menu similar to one as show in image below
So far i have been able to make it work to some extent example on jsFiddle HERE.
So far i have some design issue and one functionality issue.
When i try to hide the default text for each dropdown menu //$(this).find(".nav-info").hide();
then Menu 4 & 5 does not show up on right side.
I am actually trying to create a menu similar to one as on this website. One this website they also show a default text for parent menu which i dont need actually.
I modified script to show the first li of submenu it works find for Parent menu ONE, TWO but creates alignment problem for MENU FOUR and FIVE.
I would appreciate if some can help me fix this issue...

I checked the site you were referring for the example And you can achieve the same with plain CSS and few lines of jQuery. Here is my way:
HTML
<nav class="nav-wrapper">
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="#">Menu One</a>
<div class="dropdown">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Sub menu one</a>
<div class="dd-panel">

<p class="media-caption"><strong>Menu one - sub menu one</strong>Aliquam erat volutpat. Quisque porta varius tortor, ac luctus lorem condimentum vel. Mauris venenatis justo id fringilla tincidunt.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Sub menu two</a>
<div class="dd-panel">
<img class="media" src="http://lorempixel.com/200/160/" alt="image" />
<p class="media-caption"><strong>Menu one - sub menu two</strong>Aliquam erat volutpat. Quisque porta varius tortor, ac luctus lorem condimentum vel. Mauris venenatis justo id fringilla tincidunt.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Sub menu three</a>
<div class="dd-panel">

</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Sub menu four</a>
<div class="dd-panel">

See it working on JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/shekhardesigner/wPWDm/
@KnowledgeSeeker , your code is perfect but no need to show and hide you can just keep one global variable for each like:
var html_4="";
and
var html_5="";
for both menu and then keep your inner html code in that variables separately. After that you just do with this code : (For tab four)
$(this).find(".nav-info").html("");
$(this).find(".nav-info").html(html_4);
same for five also, just replace variable name for other tab you need to html null for these tabs and keep this class always because if you remove class your css issue will be appear.
