thanks a lot Karl Eyes-of-the-Hawk it made the trick! ;-)
in the meanwhile i had a successful try at it but it's nasty compared
to your prop:
$('#dsViewport h3').each(function(index){
var $this = $(this);
var $text= $this.text();
tempClass = ($text == selected) ?
'selected':'notSelected';
var tempB = $('<li></li>');
$('<a></a>')
.attr({
'title': 'jump to ' + $this.text(),
'href': '#' + $this.text(),
'id': 'pc-' + index
})
.text($text)
.addClass(tempClass)
.appendTo($(tempB));
tempB.appendTo('#mainmenu_level2');
})
thanks!
