    	    * The code doesn't work with String object so that the menu fail to show up.
    	    * Below code parse the String into XML Object to make the code work.
    	    * It is just the fix tested for Firefox and IE 7 only. To "hardcode" the fix here should not be encouraged,
    	    * also, the code didn't check for the objec type.
    	    * please find a better way to solve it.
