Q: I’d like to know how to populate the navigation bar menu from a database?
A: 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 = [
// Write Javascript code for menu items
echo getMenuItems();
?>
];
</script> Q: It is mostly working now except where I have two rows of nav tabs.. The top row opens new pages and the bottom row is just regular div tabs... works fine in IE and Firefox but not Chrome... any ideas?
A: Try to open links in the following way:
var bmenuItems = [
["Overview","link:Sun_Cabo_Services.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["-"],
["Villa Services","link:Cabo_Villa_Services.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["-"],
["Chef/Cook Services","link:Cabo_Chef_Services.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["-"],
["Spa Services","link:Cabo_Spa_Services.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
]; Q: I can not figure out how to get drop-down menus to show up in the Add-Ins on my Microsoft Front Page.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Microsoft Front Page extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menu
into your html page:
1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags).
For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
Notice also that some web editors won't display correctly javascript menus,
you should preview your website in the browser.
Q: Now I am coming across one more problem...
The alignment of the menu is off.
Where I can download previous versions of the menu?
A: I suppose that you're saying about submenu position.
Please, check the following parameters
var topDX=0;
var DX=0;
