Q: Do you have a template example of creating menu javascripts using data stored in a database?
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.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu you like in Deluxe Tuner.
You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.
When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Javascript/DHTML Tree ) you can click "File/New"and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://www.deluxe-tree.com/parameters-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems.
2. You should install the tree menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML.
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Javascript/DHTML Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="deluxe-tree.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tree.files/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006 - 2007, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data-tree.js"></script> </td></tr> //data-tree.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dtree.js - menu engine file
dtree_add.js - additional module for floatable/movable menus
dtree_dyn.js - additional module with Javascript API to change the menu "on-the-fly"
dtree_ajax.js - additional module with the AJAX-like support
into "deluxe-tree.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index.html page.
Try that.
Q: I want to use a Flash icon with sound next to the menu items, is this possible?

var menuItems = [
["<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0' width='50' height='50'><param name='movie' value='data.files/bullet_orange.swf'><param name='quality' value='high'><embed src='data.files/bullet_orange.swf' quality='high' bgcolor='#FFFFFF' width='50' height='50' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash'></embed></object>Home","testlink.html",""],

Q: I'm trying to set the frame parameters to frame name body. I have tried seven different text items: body, _body, frame name=body, framename=body, "framename=body", the relative URL, and the exact URL in the titemTarget parameter (common parameters). Nothing seems to work. It always sets the target to a new window. What text do I need to enter for the default parameter to be the body frame target?
Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus? There doesn't seem to be a halfway point. Either all the menus are open, or all closed. If I set the default to hidden, it is non-functional. If I set it to expanded, that's not what I'm looking for either.
The menu looks good; other than these two problems it is functioning properly.
A: Please, check the following parameter:
var titemTarget="framename";
You can also set item target for each item
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
Try that.
> Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus?
You want to expand only the main items when you load your page?
If it is so you can set expanded items by default.
If you want to expand specific items by default you should set "+"symbol at the beginning of item text.
["+Javascript/DHTML Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ], // this item is expanded by default
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif",
"default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ], // this subitem is not expanded by default
