I am receiving the following error.

syntax error, unexpected 'menu', expecting ',' or ';'

Can someone please help me with this please? I would truly appreciate the help. Thanks

Below is my code:

<?php $navbackground = of_get_option('top_background');

if ($topbackground) {
if ($topbackground['image']) {
echo '<div id="navigation" >

<?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => 'Main Nav Menu')); ?>
</div>';
} else {
echo '<div id="top" style="background:'.$topbackground['image']. ' "></div>';

}
} else {
echo "No top background selected";
}; ?>
</div>

</div>

add '; after the 4th line
you did not close the php with ?>

remove the last ; before ?>

Your debugger should show you the line number, where the error takes place.

I fixed the the problem, it was a nested php issue.
