Q: I'm trying out Deluxe Menu with my site, but I've hit a snag with alignment. My menu bar is located at the top of my page, in a 750px-wide div. I'd like to nest the nav menu in that div, but right-align it so the menus are stuck to the right side of the div. Is that possible with your menu system? If so, can you give an example of how I would accomplish it?
A: You can paste your menu in DIV with right alignment.
<div align="right">
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</div>
Q: I need to work it with PHP/MySQL. I have found some information on it in your Support section, but have problems to understand and wonder if you have more information or a working sample of the loading bar with PHP/ MySQL.
A: Info about generating menu (menu items )from a database, please, see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/generate-menu-from-database-xml-php-asp-vb-support.html
Please, see the example of .php file.
The content of .php file depends on your database structure.
<?php
// The example for PHP/MySQL.
// MySQL database has the table "menuTable" that contains data for menu items.
// The table has the following fields:
// 1. "text" - item text
// 2. "link" - item link
// 3. "icon1" - item icon (normal state)
// 4. "icon2" - item icon (mouseover state)
function getMenuItems()
{
$jsItems = '';
// Select all records from table "menuTable"
$allItems = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM menuTable;');
// Extract items data from database and build Javascript code for menuItems
while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))
{
$jsItems .= '["'.$itemData['text'].'", "'.$itemData['link'].'", "'.$itemData['icon1'].'", "'.$itemData['icon2'].'"],';
}
// Return Javascript code
return $jsItems;
}
?>
<script>
var menuParam1 = value1;
var menuParam2 = value2;
var menuParam2 = value2;
...
var menuItems = [
<?php
// Write Javascript code for menu items
echo getMenuItems();
?>
];
</script>
Q: It actually does work - I got it to work, however some functions like transparency is not working, trial version pop up disappeared and transition when the submenu item comes down is not working - it simply pops the menu down.
A: Please, notice that transitional effects don't work in Firefox.
Effects work in IE only. You can find this info here:

Q: How can I use Danish characters in my dhtml menu bars?
A: You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.
In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode. So, you
should set UTF-8 encode on your page too
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"charset="UTF-8">
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off
"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manually
change your letters in any text editor.
