Q: How does the search engine stuff work. A web developer told me to stay away from java script if you want google to recognize your webpage.
Can you comfort me by telling me how it works.
A: Spiders can't read dynamically-generated Javascript code, so theycan't read menu links.
Search engine friendly means that you can add additional html codewithin your html page. You can generate such a code using Deluxe TunerGUI that you can find in the trial menu package. But if you'll use themenu without any additional html code, spider won't see menu links.

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.
Q: I would like to purchase your menu system but I need to know if I can control disable property for the menu javascripts
A: You can try to use the following function:

Shows/hides the item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0. See more info about indexes here.
visibility = true/false - visibility of the item.
