Q: May I can use PHP code in menu items of my dhtml website navigation menu?
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:

Q: Is it possible to put PHP, or other scripting languages within the tab menu javascript?
A: See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the content DIV.
["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>
You can paste any code within DIV's (PHP, Javascript ...)
Q: The problem I am having is specfically on the home page. The Navigation dhtml horizontal menu is at the top of the page. There are also Flash documents on this page only. When you go to the dhtml horizontal menu and select and option that has Sub-Items and position your mouse over those items, when the menu expands to show all of the text, it is cut off on theright side, this only occurres when there is a flash document behind the menu. All of the other pages work fine.
Do you have any idea why this occurrs? I have tried several things to fix this, but no luck. Is there a fix for this?
A: Try to set exact width for your sub menus. You can do it usingIndividual Submenu style:
var menuStylesNames=["Top Menu","width1","width2",];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=5px 6px 5px 6px"],
["smWidth=100px"],
["smWidth=210px"],
];
["|Modifieds ","mods.html", "", "", "", "_parent", "", "1", "", "", "", ],
["|Amateur Winter Race Bonnanza","http://triovalspeedway.vflyer.com/1/index.html", "", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "", ],
Q: I got the tabs menu to work!
Can you tell me which file(s) I must change to change the content of each tab
Very many thanks for your help.
A: For each tab you can set content <div> (contentName,contentDescription, contentVariations).
var bmenuItems =
[
["Style Name","contentName",,,,,"1"],
["-",,,,,,"0"],
["Style Description","contentDescription"],
["-",,,,,,"0"],
["Style Variations","contentVariations"],
["-",,,,,,"0"],
["Empty",,,,,,"2"],
];
You can find these divs in the tabs-style-glass.html file. You shouldpaste the content of your tabs in these divs.
