Q: One more query, can we remove the following line from all the pages,
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.com/>Javascript Menu byDeluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "/";</script>
As the script <noscript> tags are used in body section of webpage and when we use this in Head tag, it is creating a problem for us. Will removing this line would cause some problem in working of menu, as now a days every browser in the world supports JavaScripts.
A: You cannot delete the following line:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "/";</script>
Your menu won't work without this line.
You can try to move the following code in the <body> tag. Try that.

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.
