hi bornslippy,

It's difficult the get you an answer of this generic question.

I use the menu with ColdFusion and several type of databases like MS-SQL, access and Firebird. That means: All menuitem are stored in a database.

I't quit easy to loop a recordset to generate the menu dynamicly. Instead of using the external file "menu_data.js", i generate the menu into the html-file directly.

Ii would be helpful, f you have more specific questions

The best position for populating your menu is at the end of your html-file.



The reason for this are the search-engines.

Just to let you know that demos and sample code for this is currently being developed and we should have something soon as well as building menus from XML.

Hi BornSlippy,

I don't know if you're tracking this thread or not, but I saw your post and thought I would reply. I've created a VS.NET 2003 server control for the Milonic Menu. Check out the following thread for details and sample code - scroll to the bottom of the thread for demo and code downloads:
