Yes, gsub as a method is not going to act on a symbol. However, when I
switch to string, instead of seeing a dropdown menu, I see the
following: note that I changed the name of the hidden tag). Any pointers
to dropdown menu examples that do not force to do a deep dive into
JQuery?

<a id="admin_menu_selection-selector" class="fg-button
fg-button-icon-right ui-widget ui-corner-all ui-state-default"
href="#admin_menu_selection-selector-items" tabindex="0" > <span
class="ui-icon ui-icon-triangle-1-s"></span>Admin</a> <div
id="admin_menu_selection-selector-items" class="hidden" ><ul><li><a
href="#" value="Category">Category</a></li> <li><a href="#"
value="Status">Status</a></li> <li><a href="#"
value="Amount-High">Amount-High</a></li> <li><a href="#"
value="Amount-Low">Amount-Low</a></li></ul></div> <script
type="text/javascript"> jQuery('#admin_menu_selection-selector').menu({
content: jQuery('#admin_menu_selection-selector-items').html(), flyOut:
true, posX: 'left', posY: 'bottom', directionV: 'down', maxHeight: 400,
detectV: false, showSpeed: 350, chooseItem: function(selection) {
jQuery('#admin_menu_selection-selector').html( '<span class="ui-icon
ui-icon-triangle-1-s"></span>' + jQuery(selection).text() ); var vid =
jQuery(selection).attr('value');
jQuery('#admin_menu_selection').attr('value', vid); (vid); } });
</script>
