Q: Can I use data from a SQL server using ASP for drop down menu code?
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.:
<!-- JavaScript Tree 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.)
];
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: But what mean the message "Incorrect Copyright" that you see on the javascript menu ie TABS on our website? Because we did the solution that you described in the original message that I copy you below. In some computers appears this messages in other not.
The key that is in the .js file.
A: Installation of your menu is not correct:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-tabs.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<!--script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/dtabs.js"></script-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
You should write:
<noscript><p><a href="http://deluxe-tabs.com">javascript menu ie by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></p></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
Try that.
Q: I have a Menu called topnavbar.js when this menu is applied to a page not in a subfolder the links work. This topnavbar menu includes the following items; District Office, Cumberland Head Elementary School, Beekmantown Elementary School, Beekmantown Middle School, and Beekmantown High School.
However, if you put the topnavbar on a page that is located in a subfolder the links in the topnavbar add this subfolder name to the link. So instead of districtoffice.htm the link is transportation/districtoffice.htm and that page doesn’t exist.
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I cannot see my menu on the pages. Could ypu help me?
A: Try to move the following code in the <head> tag
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>
Notice: your menu won't work correctly if you write src="/dmenu.js"
