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:

Q: In the item window, it says "use Ctrl jey to slect and copy items" But when I try it doesn't work.
I use Ctrl C and Ctrl V
A: To select a group of items you can use Shift and Ctrl keys.
To rename an item click on it and hold a mouse cursor for a second. Or use item parameters window.
To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.
To copy items select those you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.
Also you can use a contextual menu - a right mouse click on the list of items.
Q: Can the main menu items be set so they are all the same width without specifying pixel widths?
A: You should create Individual Style and assign this style for allitems.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=150"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["DHTML Menus","", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", , ,"0", , , , , ], // assign style 0
["Apycom products","", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , , , ], // assign style 0
["Contacts","http://www.apycom.com/contact.html", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , , , ], // assign style 0
];
Q: I ordered Deluxe Popup Window Multiple Site License and I cannot get it to work at all. I need to have multiple choice javascript popup window to website links on a web page. How do I get it to work from a link on a page? Are there examples of how to use the javascript popup window settings. All the help files show is for menus, tree and tabs.
A: 1) You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you have:
<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>
So, in the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page:
add id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
2) Or you can create only one data file and use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open the popups.
More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html
function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")
Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file if you don't want to close 1-st popup window or use the same winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.
content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin (default in my example)
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.
If you want to open several windows at once use different id's for each link.
