Populating DHTML menu from MySQL

[Jason]

I have a client that would like to have drop down menus added to a nav
bar that is generated from MySQL. Is it possible to have a dynamically
driven DHTML menu from MySQL?

MySQL has some functions to deal with strings and you can always generate
the HTML output you want. However, why would anyone want to complicate his
life so much? The usual procedure is to make use of a server side scripting
language with database access (like Perl, PHP...).

I think my first post wasn't that clear. I agree with what your saying
as well, but the client is always right. ;)

Here is a sample of the code I was looking for.
