Q: Is there a way we can add javascript behaviors to the popup menu in java actions? For example, is there a way we can add an onClick function to a popup menu in java item (eg, onClick="return MyFunction( )" ) so that we can catch and process key events?
I'm really hoping there's a way of doing this...
A: Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick/onContextMenu event to each item. However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within popup menu in java items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["<div onContextMenu='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
You can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
Q: Do you have any working examples of a menu generated using .php from a MySQL database?
Our website is dynamic from a MySQL db and we already have categories and sub-categories. It would be useful if we could use this with our deluxe menu.
I don't know how to set this up, so any assistance would be appreciated.
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:

Is it possible to open the new site in a popup in dhtml drop down menu, like 800 x 600 or something?

Q: I worked up some menus on my local machine and they work fine I want to push them to my server.
When I do, I don't see the menu that I saw on my local machine.
Instead, I see a hypertext link with a word that I used in one menu. What could be wrong?
Do I have to chmod the JS file? Do I have it mapped wrong. Is it because I am using a demo version?
A: Demo version of the menu has full functionality.
I can't find the call of dmenu.js file on deluxe-menu.htm and dmenu.js file in the "deluxe-menu_files" folder.
Please, upload this file on your server.
