Q: Can I use data from a SQL server using ASP for the dhtml xml menu?
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.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, 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>
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: How do you center the text within the top-level cels in the drop down navigation bar?
A: You should set the following parameter:
var itemAlignTop="center";
Q: I need to execute some javascript first when someone clicks on the tab in the floating tabs.
A: You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
["tab text","javascript: window.open('test.html', 'frameName')", ...],
or
["tab text","javascript: getURLForFrame()", ...],
Q: I don't understand why this isn't working right. I haven't messed with the files in a long time now but someone wrote me an email saying I’ve had incorrect copyright on the javascript dropdown menu for a long time.
A: "Incorrect Copyright" means that the script can't find required copyright parameters.
To avoid this, please, change:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
to:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
