    You can run a CFQUERY against your database called myQuery.

    JavaScript first line
    <cfoutput query="myQuery">
    JavaScript menu item code, <cfoutput>#product_name#</cfoutput>
    </cfoutput>
    JavaScript last line

    You get the idea.

    Step 1, run your query. I assume it's 2 columns (name and id).

    Step 2. Convert each query column to an array using ListToArray and ValueList. (note, the query columns actually are arrays. If you can figure out the syntax, you might not need the functions.)

    Step 3. Use the ColdFusion toScript function to convert your Cold Fusion Variables to js variables.

    Step 4. Use these two variables to produce your menu.

    the server I am using is version 5 and doesn't support cfcsript.
