How to do it
1.Define your site in Dreamweaver and create a new page.

apply the extension.
The Universal CSS Navigation Menu dialog appears:

- Creating dynamic menu – Click the thunderbolt in order to
bring up the recordset menu.
- Choose
the column that you want to populate the menu items for the root level from. From
dropdown menu we choose the root (1) that we'll use and click OK (2).
- In Link click on Folder icon and in the pop-up window check the Data Source radio button in top center.
- Choose the column from your recordset that you want to populate links from.
- You can have only root level dynamic menu without sub-levels. In our case the Title matches the Link but you can always have any column from the recordset set in both fields.
- Here is the result.
