Q: I’d like to know how to populate the navigation bar menu from a database?


A: Please, see the example of .php file.The content of .php file depends on your database structure.

<?php

// The example for PHP/MySQL.
// MySQL database has the table "menuTable" that contains data for menu items.
// The table has the following fields:
// 1. "text" - item text
// 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: Hello, I am interesting in purchasing your product, but first I need to know if it is possible to call a JavaScript function from the menu.  I have read the FAQ and noted where it lists that you can perform an alert call, and that worked on my end as well, but when I attempted to call a function I created I could not get it to respond.  Is it possible to call a function from your menu?  Could I get an example?


A: You can write your own functions within menuItems, for example:

 ["|Real-Time Data Query","javascript:window.open('http://www.domain.org/', '_blank','height=758,width=1024,status=yes,toolbar=no, menubar=no,location=no');",,,'Query real time water quality data' ,'' , '', '', ,],


Q: I am trying to update a website using a deluxe-menu, but I do not understand the instructions for inserting it into a framed site. I have everything working, and the menu is on the page. I just cannot figure out how to make the submenus appear in another frame.

The website makes it sound like I need to alter the data.js file, but I do not have any programs on my computer that will allow me to do so.


A: You can open your data.js file in any text editor and add such linedm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0); instead of dm_init();

More info you can find here:

Q: Obviously your menus are NOT cross browser usable, as you can e.g. Padding does not work in opera, while it works in IE.
When will there be an update on that bug?


A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try also to specify unitsin "px":
  var menuWidth="500px";
  var menuHeight="20px";
  var smWidth="116px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
  var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";
