Spry Menus

I would like to have a menu option on a Spry menu bar that is grayed out unless someone is a customer. Upon checking the database, if they are a customer, then activate the particular menu in the Spry bar.

Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver without getting into the code?

I wonder the same thing. For instance, using PHP, I suppose I can go to codeview and display certain menus depending on whether the person in logged in. (Example: why display the "log out" menu when a person isn't even logged in? The converse is also true.) I'll have this figured out in the next couple of days (weeks?) After all, the Spry Menus are just JavaScript. I suppose if session variables are active, you can display any menu you want, depending on whether the person is logged in, and what kind of access you give them. I just haven't gotten that far.

PHP, MySQL,

Couldn't find anything, seems like there should be as this has been around for quite some time in the client server world. The closest I came was screen password security by access level - works ok but not as slick.

No. Which platform? Php, asp classic
