Dynamic menus

[kamy99]

Hi all:

I know this a javascript question, rather than php/mysql one, but since this is an excellent board I figured to ask it here 😃 :

I am loking for a DHTML menu which can be programmed dynamiccaly. Basically all the menu items and submenus have to be extracted from the DB.

I don't mind spending a little $$ to buy a software, if you know of any.

Any tips, websites, suggestions,.... are greatly appreciated.

Thanx

first, find the menu that you want.

second look at how it builds up the menu options.

I have a tree at http://www.pcpropertymanager.com/faq

and it's designed to be all javascript but my list is in mysql.

so, I have my javascript separated out from my page and I have

<script>
<?php
// query the database, get list of options
// then echo out html which builds the javascript array of options
?>
buildMenu();
<!-- and build menu uses the array to create the menu -->
</script>

I hope this makes sense. The important thing to remember is that PHP's primary role is to spit out HTML to a browser. How the browser uses that HTML (ie decides it's really javascript) is up to the browser. Don't be afraid to echo/print out javascript!
