How to dynamically add menu outside of menu items

[raydar]

I have a list of menu items from dom_menu_items. I need to dynamically
add other items based on a database. Any ideas?

[Dan Allen]

The menu definition hash can be easily created dynamically or it can
be manipulated using the Hash object methods. However, once the menu
is drawn, it cannot easily be manipulated without scrapping it and
redrawing it.

To scrap the menu, simply run

document.getElementById('domMenu_main').innerHTML = '';
domMenu_activate('domMenu_main');

The menu definition can be manipulated, as in the following snippet,
which adds a third item to the first submenu.

domMenu_data.get('domMenu_main').get(1).set(3,
new Hash(
1,
new Hash(
'contents', 'New Item',
'uri', 'http://example.com'
)
)
);

It could be easier, I agree...perhaps creating a function that did the
nasty work would be the best way to handle it.
