Q: I want to be able to pull information into dynamic drop down menu from the mysql database.
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) 2008, 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 am currently testing the DHTML Tabs product, and I am trying to find ways of replicating how it is being done in your website at
http://deluxe-tabs.com/.
In your website, when I click on a Tab, the content relevant to that tab appears. I understand that the site is using "div id= " method to control. However, my question is how can I code the DIV to appear in the JS file of my mouseover tabs?
A: See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (see data file with your menu parameters).
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Empty","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ],
And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your content here!!!!!
</div>
<div id="contentDescription" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your description here!!!!!
</div>
You can paste any code within DIV's (PHP, Javascript ...)
Q: I have built a menu which will sit in a frame on the left hand side of the page.
When sub menus are selected they display in the same frame.
How do I make them appear over the adjoining frame?
A: Please, check you dm_init function. You should write it so:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1);
More info about cross-frame mode you can find here (see additional info):

See cross-frame vertical orientation Sample (left-to-right) here:

Q: Hello. We need some tech support regarding our deluxe menu.
All of our pages that have the menu code on them are suddenly giving status bar errors that say: "Done, but with errors on page"
When pulling up the error details, the dialog says:
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0
On pages that do not have the menu at all, we're not getting the error.
A: Now you have such code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var dmWorkPath = "menu/";
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
So, your menu cannot find var dmWorkPath = "menu/"; parameter on yourpage.
Try to write your code in the following way:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menu/";</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript" src="menu/dmenu.js"></SCRIPT>
