Database Menu on ColdFusion CFM Page

The data menu htm file states:-

The data is stored inside the 4 .csv files, import this into the appropriate table, set up the DSN, username and password and this file should start building menus from a SQL Server database using ASP.

That is no good to me, as I need to run it from a .CFM page.

Is there any solution?

Thanks

Not sure I understand the problem here. Build the DB and use CF in whatever way you need to access it. Remember to change the _data file suffix from .js to .cfm if you have any CF code in those statements.

Example - one of my menu items calls up some simple system info...

Code:

   with(milonic=new menuname("system")){   
   style=XPMenuStyle;
   borderwidth=1;
   orientation="vertical";
   aI("text=Browser: <cfoutput>#cgi.http_user_agent#</cfoutput>;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   aI("text=Code Name: "+navigator.appCodeName+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   aI("text=Color Depth: "+screen.colorDepth+" bit;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   aI("text=IP: <cfoutput>#cgi.remote_addr#</cfoutput>;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   aI("text=Language: "+navigator.browserLanguage+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   aI("text=Platform: "+navigator.platform+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   aI("text=Screen Max: "+screen.availWidth+"  x  "+screen.availHeight+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   aI("text=Screen Resolution: "+screen.width+"  x  "+screen.height+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
   }

So, my _data file is now xxx_data.cfm.

I know the above is not using a DB, but the idea is still the same.

HTH...
