adding menu items

[devnull]

The onclick event for a menus added as per this does not appear to fire.

Code:

$('#mm').menu('appendItem', {
	parent: item.target,  // the parent item element
	text: 'Open Excel',
	iconCls: 'icon-excel',
	onclick: function(){alert('Open Excel')}
});

If I add using this method, then the onclick event fires when the menu is added:

Code:

$('#mm').menu('appendItem', {
	parent: item.target,  // the parent item element
	text: 'Open Excel',
	iconCls: 'icon-excel',
	onclick: alert('Open Excel')
});

The 'onclick' property value should be a string or a function.

Code:

onclick: function(){alert('Open Excel')

or

Code:

onclick: "alert('Open Excel')"
