Creating a Menu from JavaScript

To create a Menu with no pre-existing markup on the page, call the Menu constructor (YAHOO.widget.Menu) passing the id of the Menu element to be created as the first argument.

Add items to a Menu instance via the addItem, insertItem, or addItems methods.

Finally, it is necessary to call the render method passing the id of, or reference to the element the Menu should be appended to.
