hi,

We have thousands of product and my boss wants the option for all the seperate sections AND subsections to be able to be viewed from the side nav

this causes a problem with length as you can see from the web site (http://www.bathroomexpress.co.uk - ignore index.html thats not generated by the script)

Ideally I would like to put a 'tree' style nav bar on the redesigned site, like the directory tree in windows explorer but with out The + and -

i know very little if not nothing at all about javascript, i can put it in a page and thats abt it, but I know that you can get scripts for what I want to do..

Are they compatible with actinic? is there somewhere I can get a custom 1 designed for me or get a tutorial?

im making progress with the redesign but this is a big stumbling block for me..

appreciate all your help

Ben Parsons

cheers for the site really usefulk things on there...

the menus are not quite what im looking for but they a start and useful for future reference, what i want is summit like: http://www.bathroomexpress.co.uk/eg.gif , but with 2 levels, sections and sub sections

i would want no offsetting and no images just sections in bold and subs in normal casde

know of anything like this?

I've done one like that too.

However, I'm not posting new stuff anymore onto my donationaware pages due to way too much abuse of this system.

You can see a live example on http://www.chandleryworld.co.uk/ and also on http://www.surf-wax.co.uk/acatalog.

You can customise the menus easily and replace the [+] and [-] with nothing or use your own icons.

You could try this :

CLICKY (http://www.mompswebdesign.com/dhtml/menu_tree.html)

or alternatively look at re-designing the navigation it's very complex to find what you want. Maybe re classify your products leading to less sections.
