Q: Can data be loaded dynamically?
For example, can your dhtml menu source code load the child of a node once the node is clicked on?
A: You can use AJAX like technology.

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’m looking for a popup multilevel menu. I think from your website that your menus will do this for but I can’t figure out using the trial version how to do it.
I have an image map of a graphic and I need to call my javascript pop out menu from an OnMouseOver in the image map…
<areahref="#"onmouseover=""shape="rect"coords="120, 124, 180, 136">
Obviously I can’t put the standard <script>… as described in your sample.
Is there a setting that I need to change or is this not possible with your javascript pop out menu.
A: You can try to use Popup Menu, see more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/popup-mode-sample.html
See how you should call pop up menu
<img src="data-samples/images/popup_pic.gif" width=180 height=119 onmouseover="return dm_popup(0, 2000, event);" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"><br>
You can create your javascript pop out menu using Deluxe Tuner application.
Q: Using the example menu you have, how do i make the sub-menu for the 'Sample' menu item a multi-column and leave the 'Product Info' menu item as is.
I only want certain sub-menus to have multi-columns. I don't want all menu items to have a multi-column sub.
A: Please, see the attached example.
You should use individual styles.
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2"],
["smColumns=1"], //style 1
];
...
["More Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "1", , ], //assign style 1
Try that.
Q: Thank you for your prompt replay- the menu now works! However, the multi level dhtml menu takes forever to load up as demonstrated on our website. I was wondering whether there was any possible way of getting it to load up faster.
A: I have noticed no delays in the menu loading.
But your menu is big enough. You can try to us AJAX technology.

Try to set the following parameter also:
var dm_writeAll=1;
