DHTML Tree Menu question 1

[nicks60610]

This is sort of a mixed question as it concerns DHTML and SQL databases. I am trying to find out if there is a way to create a DHTML tree view using data from a SQL or ORACLE database. There is a feature available in Crystal Reports 8 and 9 called Tree View Reports and basically what you do is call data from the database populating the tree branches with fields from the database. I would like to make something similar using DHTML and ASP, has anyone ever seen this done before, and if so, can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

If I were you I would start with

http://www.w3schools.com,

take some time out to note the differences between

dhtml - ( html / javascript )
and
asp

when you feel comfortable with this, try :

http://www.dynamicdrive.com

they have some dhtml menus there.

For a tree menu you would probably want ASP to output regular html lists.

<ul id=&quot;&quot;>
<li>
<li>
</ul>

Then parse those lists using javascript which can add the interactive/styled effect.
