 * Hi, I want to use my own simple JavaScript where when user clicks a menu item,
   it changes background-color, but since I’m pulling my list from WP db, how the
   heck do I add something like:
 * > <div id=”menu_item_1″ onclick=”changeBgColor(“menu_item_1″)”>…</div> and I 
   > want to add this for each menu item but I have this in my header.php:
   > <div class=”menuItems”>
   >  <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&sort_column=menu_order’);?
   > > </div><!– END menuItems–>
 * I’m using wp_list_pages rather than hardcode my menu items, so how do I do this?
   Please anyone, thanks!

 * Use an external javascript file rather than embedding javascript into the HTML.
