I think you need to look into how jQueryUI implements these. They are some
sort of object, I'm sure. AddItem will insert a <div> I'm guessing, in a
list of divs. But you can keep track of them with arrays yourself. I think
it makes sense to build some sort of structure that is basically an array
of arrays to hold the menu regardless of what jQuery does. Then, in the
future, if we wanted to implement some other scheme, we could.
