• How to create dynamic submenus, if the main-menu is dynamic as well? It seems that only the first level is working. If no level2 is possible whats the use of a menu, then?
• No vertical push down for subs like effects in spry accordions
• css - adjustments is not hassle-free due to some fixed images used for layout
• after some editing one cannot bring back the css in its original state. It needs deleting the whole branch
• If a layout is changed, the former is not removed from the server which can create quite some messy file - overhead.
• The 13 styles look better but cannot be easy adjusted
• quite expensive for 13, partly similar layouts. I had expected at least double as many.
• Setup - logic is very well, though. Easy to use if static menus are preferred.
• Manual covers most issues.
• Nice idea of using icons next to menu entries (as an option)

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your feedback! I'm sure we can use your findings for to improve our Universal CSS Navigation Menu in the future updates.

As for the dynamic submenus - you can easily create a two level dynamic menus - even from the main level. Its like shown in this video: www.dmxzone.com/go?17295

Also as for the changing the CSS styles - you should always derive your own styles from the standard ones - and never change the standard ones directly as indeed those might be changed in the future updates.

We have a few FAQs about how you can do that at:
www.dmxzone.com/index?7/1028

Keep up the good feedback and even if you found something is not clear enough or have a good showcase - you can always post it on DMXzone!

Greetings,
George

Hi George,
thank you for your reply. And for appreciating my suggestions.
I watched the movie for the dynamic menus. I think its not very common to use database table for menus as shown in the example. I'd prefer something like this:

+------------------------------------+
| auto_ID | parent_ID | name         |
+---------+-----------+--------------+
|1        |0          | top_menu1    |
|2        |0          | top_menu2    |
|3        |0          | top_menu3    |
|4        |1          | sub_main_1_1 |
|5        |1          | sub_main_1_2 |
|6        |2          | sub_main_2_1 |
|.....    |.....      | .....        |
+---------+-----------+--------------+

In this model you are flexible to add as many entries as you wish. The id can always be used as a parent for further sub-menus. This makes it easy to maintain menu entries even when they might change later and its easy to add deeper branches (eg a third level)
best wishes
(btw, my name is Reinhard)
