[dev] Dynamic sidebar menu elements not refreshing

Sorry to bother everybody with this again, but I need some guidance.

In horde/templates/horde/menu.inc, in MenuUpdateHandler I added:

alert(result);

before and after the line:

eval(result);

On update (currently set to every minute), I get a pop-up of the javascript
code before the eval is performed, but the pop-up after never appears. Nothing
is logged in the javascript console (firefox) and no javascript errors are
reported (IE 6). In the source of the frame, I see, for example:

n_horde_menu['imp']['label'] = '<b>Mail</b> (31)';

After I read a message, I see in the pop-up:

n_horde_menu['imp']['label'] = '<b>Mail</b> (30)';

but the label in my sidebar never changes.

So, based on the evidence I have right now, the code in "result" appears
correct, but the "eval(result);" appears to be failing with no error logged to
the javascript console.

Can anybody give me advice on where to go from here?

Thanks in advance,
Rick
