Q: Will I be able to create javascript dynamic menu on my iMac G5? or is this just PC compatible software?

Q: I have been evaluating your dhtml-tree product, for a potential use.
It does just about every thing I want apart from 1 thing:
I want each css dropdown menu item to (optionally) support the following syntax:
<a href="menu_link.html" onClick="return fnClickedLinked()">Menu Link</a>
I have worked out how to change the "menu_link.html", and also that it could be something like "javascript:fnClickedLinked()".
However I want the above syntax, where search engines can pick up the link and if my function returns false, the link is not followed when clicked.
Is this possible?
Or can I cancel the link navigation using the tree API node click event??
A: Actually you can add the html code inside item's text:
["|<a href="menu_link.html" onClick="return fnClickedLinked()">Menu Link</a>","", "", "", "", "Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also try to use API function:
function dtreet_ext_userClick (itemID)
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.htmlQ: I've now begun to offer my clients multiple levels offunctionality. Is there any way to add another level of complexity to the php drop down menu? Would AJAX Menus be the best approach for doing this?
A: You can do it in three ways now.
1) You can use API functions to generate items dynamically:
function dm_ext_createSubmenu (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
See more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
2) Use AJAX feature and create different .js files depend on company and user level.
3) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
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.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: Our company bought the deluxemenu bundle about one year ago.
We were wondering is there any api for the deluxmenu js tabs available?
We would need to programatically open a particular tab.
A: No, unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.
You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>
