Answer 1

This is the function I use to build up my menu structure:

var buildMenu = function(menu, el) {
    var ul = $('<ul></ul>');
    ul.appendTo(el);
        for(var i in menu) {
            var menuItem = $('<li><a href="' + menu[i].url + '">' + menu[i].title + '</a></li>');
            menuItem.appendTo(ul);
            if(menu[i].subMenu) {
                buildMenu(menu[i].subMenu, menuItem);
            };
        };
}

menu being th JSON object that contains the menu and el being the div or containing element to insert the menu into.

My Menu object has the following format:

var menu : [{
    title   : 'Home',
    url     : 'Default.html'
}, {
    title   : 'Groups',
    url     : '#',
    subMenu : [{
        title   : 'Group1',
        url     : 'Group1.html'
    },{
        title   : 'Group2',
        url     : 'group2.html'
    }]
}];

Hope that helps
