Concatinate menu variables

I would like to have a menu that changes based on whether a user is logged in or not, by adding some additional parts. I don't want to define 2 full menus, but instead use one MENU_ITEMS with the normal menu, and MEMBER_MENU_ITEMS with just the additional parts at the end - and concatinate them.

I thought something like MEMBER_MENU_ITEMS = MENU_ITEMS.concat(MEMBER_MENU_ITEMS);
would work - and it does in Safari, but not in IE.

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks.

For security reasons I'd recommend to switch hierarchies on the server side. In your case information about member menu items will be available to non-members, it may be not shown in the menu but accessing it is not a big deal.

Good point - thanks for your quick response. I was making the switch on the server side, but I realise now that the entire MEMBER_MENU_ITEMS would have been passed in all cases. Now I will make it more secure by only including the MEMBER_MENU_ITEMS when the user is looged in.

I would still like to generate this variable via concatination of other menu items variables as described in the original post. Is this possible?
