Q: I want to be able to pull information into dynamic drop down menu from the mysql database.
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: I have built out a vertical menu that fits within a fixed size box. The items of the menus are all fixed size images. However when increasing the font size in the browser under View -> Text Size the spacing between the images increases and the html java menu no longer fits within the fixed space. I did have CSS padding-top in the html java menu that I took out but it still does not fit in the space. I took out but it still does not fit in the space.
Have you run into this before or do you know of a fix for this?
A: You've installed the menu in DIV with absolute position (boxNav). Thatis why you have such behaviour.
Try to use relative position for this DIV.

There is no such a feature in Deluxe Menus, you can create sitemap forthe menu only.
Q: Is it possible for the dhtml navigation to stay within a table for placement (in order to have a centered website content optimized for 1024x768 - and always have the content centered in the browser regardless of larger resolution sizes, etc.)? so the horizontal placement may vary but the vertical placement would remain the same.
I'm sure it is - but have not had success on implementing it.
A: You can place a menu in a TABLE or DIV with aligh="center".
