[Building Sakai] Reload Top Navigation Menu

[Adrian Fish]

No worries, you're welcome.

I'd also wrap that call in a try catch just in case your tool is ever
launched via LTI, or in some kind of frame from another host. XSS
protection will stop that call working in that case, and may halt execution
of JS from that point on.

Cheers again,
Adrian.
