I'm looking for examples on how to generate database driven menus in Cold Fusion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First thing to do is upgrade. The v3 menu is no longer supported or developed. v5.48 is available at http://milonic.com/. Come back when you're set and we'll go from there.

Thanks for the Reply John, I downloaded the new version V5.48.

Good. Make sure you read the included docs, as many things are different in the v5 system.
As for CF, just change the name of menu_data.js to menu_data.cfm and pop your code in. Follow all the Milonic "rules" for normal menu building - styles, aI statements, etc. Just because it now says .cfm nothing changes except for the CF stuff you add. Here's a very simple example I did on one of my pages...
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("system")){
style=XPMenuStyle;
borderwidth=1;
orientation="vertical";
aI("text=Browser: <cfoutput>#cgi.http_user_agent#</cfoutput>;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Code Name: "+navigator.appCodeName+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Color Depth: "+screen.colorDepth+" bit;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=IP: <cfoutput>#cgi.remote_addr#</cfoutput>;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Language: "+navigator.browserLanguage+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Platform: "+navigator.platform+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Screen Max: "+screen.availWidth+" x "+screen.availHeight+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Screen Resolution: "+screen.width+" x "+screen.height+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
}
style=XPMenuStyle;
borderwidth=1;
orientation="vertical";
aI("text=Browser: <cfoutput>#cgi.http_user_agent#</cfoutput>;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Code Name: "+navigator.appCodeName+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Color Depth: "+screen.colorDepth+" bit;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=IP: <cfoutput>#cgi.remote_addr#</cfoutput>;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Language: "+navigator.browserLanguage+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Platform: "+navigator.platform+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Screen Max: "+screen.availWidth+" x "+screen.availHeight+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
aI("text=Screen Resolution: "+screen.width+" x "+screen.height+";image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;");
}
