Hi,
I'm having trouble with my code:

The Problem is, it generates the first level of the menu without any
problems. But once it tries to access the 2nd level nodes from the
first level nodes it seems to have forgotten what there are any child
nodes. I used this code for testing:
<?PHP
require_once "menu.php";
$newmenu = new menunode;
$newmenu->setnode("Navigation","","");
$level1 = $newmenu->addChild("Punkt 1","","");
$level1->addChild("Punkt a","","");
$newmenu->addChild("Punkt 2","","");
$newmenu->addChild("Punkt 3","","");
$newmenu->addChild("Punkt 4","","");
$newmenu->addChild("Punkt 5","","");
echo $newmenu->create();
echo $level1->children[0]->title;
?>
Sorry for the long post and thanks ahead.
