[Javascript] drill down menu

[Andrew Gibson]

Heres one I worked on a while back, but didn't have a need for..
http://www.dscript.net.nz/webmail/managefld/mgefld.asp

I couldn't really figure out how to do it, but ended up with a bunch of
arrays holding references to children

where, 1 is the array element holding the next child, 0 might be the level.
Have  look at the source code.
I had the arrays server side, and they wrote to the client arrays.

fds[0]="Home,1,0"
fds[1]="Contacts,2,1|New,0,1|Source,0,1|Search,7,1|Options,0,1"

Subject: [Javascript] drill down menu


hi all,

does anyone know how to create a drill down menu in javascript? something
like the way windows explorer works on the left hand side - although I will
have just a series of text links. I have a finite list of categories and sub
categories in a left hand menu.

eg.

category 1
category 2
category 3

and clicking on category 2 gives

category 1
category 2
 category 2.1
 category 2.2
 category 2.3
category 3

thanks for your help
