[TYPO3] Unable to get the correct register: value!

[Surer Dink]

Peter,
  Per your recommendation, I have made the following changes (please
confirm this is all I should have done):
1) made an extra object under lib = COA
2) changed string names of nav, tree, and friends to integers
3) added LOAD_REGISTER intermediate

My code now looks like this:

lib.menus = COA
lib.menus {
  10 = HMENU
  10 {
    entryLevel = 1
    1 < temp.amenu
    1.wrap = <ul id="nav">|</ul>
  }
  20 = LOAD_REGISTER
  20.myCounter.data = register:count_menuItems
  35 = TEXT
  35 {
    cObject = TEXT
    cObject.dataWrap = 100/{register:myCounter}
    prioriCalc = 1
    wrap = <style type="text/css">/*<![CDATA[*/ ul#nav li { width: |
%; }/*]]>*/</style>
  }
  30 = HMENU
  30 {
    entryLevel = 2
    1 < temp.amenu
    1.wrap = <ul id="tree">|</ul>
    2 < temp.amenu
    2.wrap = <ul>|</ul>
  }
}
...
page.headerData.1 < lib.menus.35

As a result, the page header now contains:

<style type="text/css">/*<![CDATA[*/ ul#nav li { width:ERROR: dividing
by zero%; }/*]]>*/</style>

Please advise.
