@Steve: I agree that there shouldn't be a "var mainMenu" in a function scope if it is to be used elsewhere. However, I've had a quick search, and from what I've found if you "var" something in global scope it becomes global (and thus available in all other scopes, such as in a domready function). Perhaps I am still confused...
