Q: Can you provide an example of how to dynamically change the menu items at runtime for the dropdown menus?
(asp is fine, but if it needs to javascript that is also ok)
A: 1) You can use API functions to affect items dynamically:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
2)Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
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" 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:

["<a href="http://domain.no/secure/modules/tutorials/cpanel-x3/cpanel-x3-addon.swf" rel="shadowbox;height=450;width=780">test</a>","",""]
But you should specify a styles for this link also.Q: I need a web navigation bar with a transparent background for the menu and the submenues.

Q: We are using the deluxe menu in one of our projects. The menu works well on our integration system but not on our production system.
The only difference is that the integration is running on Tomcat Version 5.5.9 and the production (with the "broken" menu) on Tomcat 5.5.17.
But for me it looks more like a browser problem than a JSP problem.
Unfortunatley the Tomcat 5.5.17 is our production system so fast help is appreciated.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
Make sure that you have dmenu_add.js file in the same folder withdmenu.js file.
