No, I wouldn't expect that to work. First of all, the wrap is
expecting only a single pipe character ("|"). But in any case the code
above still would not do what you expect (i.e. even if it were
'allWrap = <div>|</div>').

If I read your 'wanted' code right, you'd like to wrap the *entire*
menu, but what you have above will wrap only items in the top menu.
Probably what you want is something like:

temp.menu_3 = HMENU
temp.menu_3.stdWrap.dataWrap = <div id="{field:uid}">|</div>

...which wraps the whole HMENU item. Your code above tries to wrap
only temp.menu_3.1 - which , as mentioned, is only one item of the
menu. If that *was* what you wanted to do, you'll need to alter your
code to read something like:

temp.menu_3.1.wrap.dataWrap = <div id="{field:uid}">|</div> 

...though this would, or course be invalid CSS (multiple ids not
allowed). The 'allWrap' property you used is a property of TMENUITEM
[1], so it you can't simply move it up to temp.menu_3.1 or temp.menu_3
to fix the problem
