 * Hi there,
    I can make my idea more clearly now. I am working with the theme TwentyTen.
   Within the header.php you can find the line 85: `<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class'
   => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>`. Here my menu gets arrayed
   dynamically. The Line, I can see in the sourcecode is this: `<div class="menu-
   header"><ul id="menu-main" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-275" class="menu-item
   menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-275"><a href="#">Linkvalue</a>...`.
 * Now I want to add one specific line where the dot is: `...Linkvalue•</a>...`.
   Is it possible to do this by hacking functions.php or the array? And further:
   Is it possible to add a dynamic line?
 * The goal is this: `...Linkvalue1<crap1></a>... ...Linkvalue2<crap2></a>...`.
 * I would be so happy to get some advice.

 * **Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme!** Your changes **will** be over-written the
   next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended
   that you consider creating a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   for your customisations.

 * Hi esmi,
    Thanks for the advice. I am already working with my own child theme.
   It is based on the TwentyTen. Because of that I referred to TwentyTen, so you
   can figure, what structure and framework I am basically using. I am looking for
   a solution within the theme without touching the WP core for obvious reasons.
   Do you know if I can get inside of the array that way?

 * Not that I’m aware of. What are these additions going to be used for?

 * I want to have a simple and slim hover effect in my menu. I found Eric Meyer’s
   [Pure CSS Popup](http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo.html). He adds
   the element by `display:block` when hovering the actual link. All very simple.
   However, the element with the same class as the link has to be before the `</
   a>` tag. In my opinion it is a very structured and slim way to define a hover
   effect. Or is there something better? Which works with the WP array? I am sure
   there are other solutions but I can’t figure them out right now.
