Q: Will the .js file dhtml menu script still be obfuscated with the purchased version of Deluxe Menu?
I'll need to tweak the final script to create the menus I want so this would make a big difference in my decision to purchase.
A: See in Single Website License, Multiple Website License and DeveloperLicense our source code is obfuscated.
And in Developer License with Javascript Source Code you can see thecode and change it.
We support all our customers.
But we DO NOT provide technical support for modified source code.Q: I’d like to know how to populate the navigation bar menu from a database?

// 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();
?>
];

Q: I’m trying to setup a simple DHTML MENU (TREE MENU). It works just fine. I just have an issue that I can’t solve.
The parameter “ var tmenuHeight = "0"; Your documentation says the following
-----------
Height of the menu in (px, % or other units).
If the value 0 - the menu sets its height automatically.
If the value is small - scrollbars appear.
In IE it looks fine but I cannot see the menu in Firefox. When I set the parameter to for example 100 then it shows up both in IE and Firefox. But I cannot set a value in pixels. I don’t know how big the menu is because it’s dynamically built. According to your doc I can specify the value in percentage but this doesn’t work. When I set the value to “100%” it doesn’t show up in Firefox again.
How can I solve this issue?
A: Try to set this parameter in the following way:
var tmenuHeight = "auto";
