Q: May I can use PHP code in menu items of my dhtml website navigation 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>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: I have tried to use the Deluxe tuner menu in one of the websites I am trying to create however, the menu gives an error. I have created the menu multiple times but everytime it comes up with the same error. I have attached the entire web page file with this mail. Can you please go through this and help me fix the errors.
A: Now you have var itemBorderWidth=""; var menuBorderWidth="";
It is not correct. You should set values for these parameters.
var menuBorderWidth="0"; var itemBorderWidth="0";
Q: I need to know if separate coloring of main items is possible in slide drop down menu.
A: You can create Individual Item styles and assign it for the top items,for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000"],//style0
["itemBackColor=##FFFFF,#000000","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=##AA0000,#0000EE"],//style1
];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
];

A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension and wedon't have plug-ins for it.
To install the menu into your html page:
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner
2. open your .html page in Dreamweaver
3. Copy data.js file and "data.files/" folder in the same folderwith your html page.
4. add several rows of code (<script> tags).
For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
<head>
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com&</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
...
</body>
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths,
so you'll havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.
