Q: Hi- I'm having a problem with a really wide horizontal code drop down menu. Rather than have it be so wide (due to the large number of items in it) we want it to wrap into a new row underneath the top so a visitor to the site doesn't have to use the scroll bar to scroll to the right to see the whole menu.
A: You can use multicolumn feature of Deluxe Menu, see example
http://deluxe-menu.com/multicolumn-menu-sample.html
or
Smart Scrolling

Q: We are wanting to make this collapsible menu Dynamic by reading from a Microsoft SQL Data base.What is the approach in accomplishing this?
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.:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var tmenuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

This example is not for Deluxe Tree menu, but you can create your menu in the same way.

You are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif; LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'> </form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
You should write your own code within tmenuItem.
Q: I would like to add your tree structure to my web page. I need to know if I can add substantial data to the expanded tree structure, for instance:
Click here to expand product A
And here is the expanded content that takes up three paragraphs and
wraps itself etcetera all about product A
Can your deluxe-tree accept multiple lines and paragraphs with wrapping in the sub items, or is it for one or two line menu data only.
A: var tnoWrap=0;
You can also use <br> tags in the item text, for example:
var tmenuItems = [
["line 1<br>line 2"],
];
