Please ! Help needed for tree menu

[Motabobo]

Hi !

I have some problems implementing a ASP generated tree menu. My problem is javascript related though.

A picture is worth a thousand words so you can take a look at my problem here :

Here is the link to my test page (it may take some time to load - please be patient !) :

Thank you !
I really need this script to work with Netscape !

[scriptkid]

source code is way to messy to tell whats going on in that thing...

you should add some vbNewLine to the output so the code is cleaner

or i can whip up an asp/javascript tree control if u give me a few seconds to code it.

I remember what happened...I tried toget the css file used for this and I could not....so I stopped working on it..:D

[Motabobo]

scriptkid: i originally put vbnewline but for some reason it added spaces between the tree menu images !

Khalid Ali: i've attached the css with this post !
rename the style15.txt for style15.css :p

Tell me if you guys want me to add vbnewline and/or add the js file and/or the menu.asp !

[scriptkid]

id like u to add the menu.asp thingy so i can get it to format the output correctly :)

maybe i can add some efficiency to it too never know ;)

[Khalid Ali]

Hey roux...

replace your swapImage functionin the JS file with the one below


function swapTree(menuDiv,fol){
window.focus();
d = document.getElementById(menuDiv);
i = document.images["img_"+menuDiv];
i1 = document.images["img_"+fol];
if (d.style.display=="none"){
d.style.display="block";
i.src='../img/minus.gif';
} else{
d.style.display="none";
i.src='../img/plus.gif';
i1.src='../img/folder.gif';
}
}



An your menu is good to go...( for the problem you mentioned)...
But believe me its not a very healthy coding...:D

[Motabobo]

Here is the complete source with the images.

If you have time (talking about adding some efficiency :p ), i'd like to get the folder's files in the right frame (instead of below the folder) when i click on one(nevermind about presentation, i will fix that i just want the data to appear there correctly lol).

Khalid Ali: i can't test your script right now ! I'm at work and i don't have IIS installed, but shhh don't tell him i'm here passing time :D

But trust me i will when i get home lol

I'm just curious why you said it was no healthy coding ;)

[Motabobo]

I'm still interested in what you can come up with scriptkid ;)

really nice menu, by the way ;)

Have you thought of using js ENTIRELY for the menu, not using div's?

I saw one here (http://www.treeview.net/). just take a look at the source code

also, the images are spaced. there are blank spots for some reason.

there is a gap of 3 pixels vertical, and 2 horizontal

[diamonds]

I just realised, it looks like you have that problem in netscape. but i have IE.

[scriptkid]

im working on something completely new cause i didnt like how that asp script was put together :-/

Ill post it tomorrow

[Motabobo]

I think i know why there is spaces, it's because there is a carriage return in the source between the img tag ie:
<img ...
<img ...

instead of

<img>...</img><img>.....</img>

But i am not sure though i will have to test it first lol

As for the other menu, i'm not sure how to do it since i have to go trough all the directories structure in a single loop and so, have to write the menu at once.

Maybe there is some other way, so i could use, for example, the "standard" tree menu version available at dynamicdrive :
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/navigate1.htm

I don't know how i could implement this :(

By the way guys, i'm also looking for a script that could save th tree menu status in a cookie (again for both NN & IE).

Thanks

Scriptkid: you're the man ! (or kid ?!?!)

Anyway, i can't wait to see it !!! I found that my previous script was a bit slow....:D

[scriptkid]

Well i suppose im a man now (19 living on own) but I still act like a kid from time to time ;)

I didn't like how long it took to load either, and I have no idea why they made their own Replace function...but anyways. I'll post what I come up with tomorrow. I'm still at work myself and supposed to be working on a site for someone :-/

[Motabobo]

Just for your information Khalid Ali, the javascript you provided is still a bit buggy.

The bug i illustrated in my image at a previous post concerning the closing action on the tree menu is still there under Netscape.

You only removed the open bug.
