[jsmenu-codedev] Changelog 2001-12-10, parts I & II

[Morten W. <war...@on...>]

mostly fixes to make menu building a lot easier, removing the need to
know what item index in the items[] array you need and also the need
for "new MTMenuItem()".  the menu building update is currently
undocumented, for an example of how the new structure looks, see <URL:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tree_menu/message/942 >

2001-12-10 (part II):
 - added MTMTrackedCookie as a global variable.  would cause a problem if
   cookies were turned off since there's an if(MTMTrackedCookie), browsers
   would throw an error since the variable doesn't exist.

2001-12-10:
 - added function MTMakeLastSubmenu() and created this as a method named
   "makeLastSubmenu", part of the MTMenuItem() object.
 - added method makeSubmenu, part of the MTMenuItem() object.  no need
   to name the methods the same as the function when they're part of an
   object.  foo.makeSubmenu() is much easier to read and work with than
   foo.MTMakeSubmenu().
 - added a test to MTMAddItem() converting the first argument to a string.
   if it's an object we add it as usual, if not we create a new MTMenuItem()
   object.  this makes menu creation even easier since users can now say
   menu.MTMAddItem("foo"); instead of having to create the new MTMenuItem().
 - added method addItem, part of the MTMenu() object.  again no need to
   name the methods the same as the function, addItem() is easier to read
   than MTMAddItem().  the function name stays the same to be unique though.
