ColdFusion has a built-in function called CFTREE in which you can create a Java based menu tree much like what you see in Windows Explorer where you can expand and contract various folders and subfolders. Does the same thing exist with ASP? Kevin

ASP is a server-side language (sortof). That function in ColdFusion basically just inserts a Java Applet into a page that runs client-side. You can insert a Java applet into any page you want. ASP doesn't really concern itself with client-side Java applets at all.

You should do a search around different free applet websites for one that does what you want. If all you want is just a listing of folders and files, you can build your own using a FileSystemObject, but it will not be animated like Windows Explorer. For that you need a Java Applet. You could use ASP to populate the Java applet PARAM tags once you find one you like though, but there is no built-in Java anything for ASP client-side.

Hope that helps. :) Harold Blackorby
