Dynamic Menu Text

Is there a way to enter dynamicly generated menu text, i.e. I calculate the date of the previous 9 Sundays and create a text string for each of those days (e.g. Sunday, September 28, 2003) and want to use that generated text string as the menu text for a submenu.

For example:
aI("text=javascript:S1T;url=javascript:window.location=S1url;separatorsize=1")

This of course, does not work since the text that follows 'text=' is taken as literal.

Sure can....You have to put the variables outside of the quotes, since you dont want them to be taken literally (which I string is..a literal). Two examples ensue...

Code:
sunday1 = "9/28/2003";
S1T = "9/21/2003";
S1url = "somepage.asp?date=3/3/2003";

aI("text=" + S1T + ";url=somepage.asp?aDate=" + S1T + ";);

aI("text=javascript:"+S1T+";url=javascript:window.location="+S1url+";separatorsize=1;");
