MenuItem is the item class that compliments the Menu class and provides
much of its recursive logic.

New in 1.2:
- The $id property value now has no bearing on which template to use if an array
of templates is provided. This was a problem when the template array keys
and $id values were both numeric.


Usage Example


<?php

$foo 
= new MenuItem ('foo''Foo');

$bar =& $foo->addChild ('bar''Bar');

echo 
$foo->display ('html''<a href="/index/##id##">##title##</a>');

?>
