cfmenuitems no longer work after coldfusion.navigate

There are times when you want to make slight changes to menus based on what a user does. It would be nice to simply "refresh" the menu (likely a cfdiv containing a cfmenu) using ColdFusion.navigate(..). However, if your menu contains cfmenuitems, they no longer appear ("drop down") after performing the navigate. If this is the intended behavior I think it is a major limitation. (CF9 and CF8)

code for my_test.cfm:

</cfmenuitem>

</cfmenu>

</cfdiv>

Correct answer fhorse

It turns out that if you remove any one of the cfmenuitem elements prior to doing the navigate the cfmenuitems work correctly...

function myNav() {

removeElements();

ColdFusion.navigate('my_test.cfm','myDiv');

}

function removeElements() {

var d = document.getElementById('myDiv');

var e = document.getElementById('option1');

d.removeChild(e);

}

</script>

</cfmenuitem>

</cfmenu>

</cfdiv>
