[jQuery] Re: Insert Html and a Javascript function with Jquery .html

[James]

function buildMenu(myMenu)
{
     var i, menuItems = '';
     var $menu = $('<div class="MainMenuItems" />');
     for (i in menu1)
     {
          menuItems += menu1[i];
     }
     var menuHTML = $menu.append(menuItems);
     $(myMenu).html(menuHTML);
}

buildMenus('.MainMenu');

It's untested, but does something like this work for you?
What does your 'menu1' variable look like? I'm assuming its an array
of HTML string sets, like '<div>menu1</div>', '<div>menu2</div>'
