// 2. "link" - item link
// 3. "icon1" - item icon (normal state)
// 4. "icon2" - item icon (mouseover state)
function getMenuItems()
{
$jsItems = '';
// Select all records from table "menuTable"
$allItems = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM menuTable;');
// Extract items data from database and build Javascript code for menuItems
while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))
{
$jsItems .= '["'.$itemData['text'].'", "'.$itemData['link'].'", "'.$itemData['icon1'].'", "'.$itemData['icon2'].'"],';
}
// Return Javascript code
return $jsItems;
}
?>
<script>
var menuParam1 = value1;
var menuParam2 = value2;
var menuParam2 = value2;
...
var menuItems = [
// Write Javascript code for menu items
echo getMenuItems();
?>
];

Q: When I add the menu to sites which are using ASP script the font color doesn't change when I roll over the menu, can you please have a look for me and explain whats up.
A: You're using CSS for your web pages.
You have set the font-color for the <TD> tag in an css style sheet file to #ed9c33.
Notice you should use CSS-based menu (CSS mode) if you're using CSSfor your TD tags (and for other objects).
Q: Is there a way to fix it so that in the dhtml tree menu when you have link set it doesn't expand the menu and then load the page. It should only load the expand the menu if I click the + image if I have a link...
Example...
["|ACRYLIC BRUSHES", "fright_itemlist.asp?level1=BRUSHES ~ KNIVES&level2=ACRYLIC BRUSHES","","","","", "_self","","","tmlevel3/m251.js",]
A: But Deluxe Tree works in this way now.
If your item has link and subitems at the same time you should clickon the item to open item's link and click on the "+" sign to expandthe item.
Make sure that you've set the following parameter:
var texpandItemClick=0;
Q: One intern design a menu for us using MenuTuner that we bought however Menu doesn’t work in Firefox or netscape.
It works fine in Internet Explorer.
Can you help? I’m attaching the zip file which you can extract and open index.html to see what’s wrong.
A: Try to specify units in "px".
var tmenuWidth = "230px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
You should set this parameter:
var tmenuHeight = "auto";
