New JS: Append to Menu after drawmenu

Hi,
I had this problem:
I needed to append to the menu many items, after the call to "drawMenus();"

I have some prorblems with the "mm_insertItem" :
- it doesen't seem to work well if I call after drawMenus and I have added many items with aI before)
- it works well if I call it after the drawmenu without using aI (with more than 1 item per submenu)
- in the last case, it is very very slow due to the many "for"

I created this script, that seem to work well (using some tricks) to append item to menu:

Code:

function mm_appendItem(_mN, _aI)
{
   _mn=_mN;
   
   // -- Add the Menu Item --
   var new_item_id=_mi.length;
   _mi[new_item_id]=_nA();
   
   // Copying from item 0 (must be empty)
   _mi[new_item_id][0]=_mn;
   for(_r=2;_r<_mi[0].length;_r++) 
   {
      _mi[new_item_id][_r]=_mi[0][_r];
   }

   // Apply Style and proprieties in _aI
   _it=_aI.split(";");
   for(_r=0;_r<_it.length;_r++){
      _sp=_it[_r].indexOf("=");
      if(_sp>-1){
         _si=_it[_r].slice(_sp+1);
         _w=_it[_r].slice(0,_sp);
         if(_w=="showmenu")_si=$tL(_si);
         _mi[new_item_id][_$S[_w]]=_si;
      }
   }
   
   // -- Add the Item to the Menu Item List --
   var x = _m[_mn][0];
   x[x.length]=new_item_id;
   
   // Redraw
   try {
      _rbMenus(_mn);
   }
   catch(er) 
   {
      
   }
}

This function works only with menu ID, not with menu name (sorry but I had to add many items, why do we have to use a for if we don't need it?). So this get the id from the name only the first time:

Code:

var _mNOld="";
var _mnOld=0;
function AddItem(_mN,_aI) 
{
   if(_mNOld==_mN) mm_appendItem(_mnOld,_aI);
   else 
   {
      _mNOld=_mN;
      _mnOld=getMenuByName(_mN);
      mm_appendItem(_mnOld,_aI);
   }   
}

mm_appendItem function copy everything from the item "0" (not name or url), and use all the other proprieties in the _aI.
So you have to add as first item in your data js:

Code:

with(menufff=new menuname("MenuBlank"))
{
   aI("");
}

I hope someone understand my bad english, and my code.
I didn't find any solution to the problem reading this: http://www.milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5451

Please avoid unusefull "for", thanks
