How to give a tree-structure a good visual look?

[nesplb]

Hi!
I'm working with some data from a database that's structured into a tree structure with different nodes and child nodes. I'm supposed to make a web site where you kan click on a node and then all the child-nodes will appear on the right side of the node. Something like the explorer window in windows or in different forums on the net. Does anyone have any tips how to make this or a tutorial?
I have allready got the data from the database but the current functionality is that when you click a node you enter a new page who contains the child nodes.

thanx

With javascript you can resolve your problem.

Yep, if you have to do it without reloading the page, you're talking about some kind of DHTML. That would be outside the realm of PHP.

Thank you Chacalink!

OmenTree with some modifications works excellent.
