Yep, as mentioned, it's 'dataWrap' in certain circumstances. Check my
previous post for doc references.

Thanks for the indents :) My first question is 'why use the page ids?'
Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you may be adopting a
more difficult strategy than is strictly necessary.

As mentioned before, 'allWrap' is a property of tmenuITEMs, not
TMENUs. You need to use the TMENU property 'wrap', and you need to
apply it to temp.menu_3.2, NOT to temp.menu_3.2.NO - this controls the
wrap of the individual items in their normal state. As I mentioned,
you probably need something similar to:


temp.menu_3.2.wrap.dataWrap = <div id="{field:uid}">|</div> [you might
also use 'insertData'; see TSref for details]


For more on how H/T/GMENUs work, you may want to play with the
examples in the TS By Example manual [1].
