$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'].'"],';

Q: I am interested in your Deluxe Tree Menu. For testing purposes, i downloaded the trial version of your software, but realized that the Textboxes an comboboxes, as shown in the samples on your website, are not included in the demo version. As i am interested in right this feature, could you please tell me where i can find more information about how creating such input boxes in the css expanding menu, and maybe also if there is a possibility to change the menu and write the changed one into a database?
A: 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:

"images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
Try that.

0 - disabled, 1 - enabled.
var tcloseExpandedXP = 0; - Enables the mode when 1 submenu only can be expanded (XP-style).
