Q: Do you have any working examples of a menu generated using .php from a MySQL database?
Our website is dynamic from a MySQL db and we already have categories and sub-categories. It would be useful if we could use this with our deluxe menu.
I don't know how to set this up, so any assistance would be appreciated.
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) 2006, 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: Is there a way to have multiple drop down menus on the same web page? What I mean by that is I have a banner with drop downs (horizontal on page) that I want to use possibly with an include statement and when you click on one of the links from the drop down it would take you to a page that is say a department for example. But on this "department page" it would have another list of drop down menues in a different location in a vertical list. This gets tricky with a second set of script running to define the banner and a second set of drop down menues running vertical in a different location.
A: You can use as many different drop down menus on your site or your page as you want.
See more info about installation of several menus on the single pagehere:

Q: I've seen, that it's possible to open the linked contents for the javascript floating menu in the same or in a new window or in a frame ,but is it possible, too, to generate a new tab?Open a new tab seems to be less risky ... is there any solution to beused with Drop Down Menu? I tried to use "_tab" instead of "_self" or"_parent", but it did not work!
A: You should use _blank.
If your browser supports tabs your link will beopened in a new tab (except IE, in IE it will be opened in a newwindow).Q: The navigation menus shows up behind the YouTube videos instead of the front
A: You should add opaque parameter to object and embed tags. So set your video in thefollowing way:
<object width="445" height="364">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/tXdWj-teINc&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
<embed src="islam-supports-child-marriage-rape-and_files/tXdWj-teINchlenfs1rel0color10x2b405bcolor20x6b8ab6border1.swf" wmode="opaque" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364">
</object>
