JScript Tree on msdn site's advanced search

[GP1]

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me if you have seen the advanced search on msdn.microsoft.com/library, how I can get the script to implement this. In my project I have to build this type of tree so that uses can click to select catagories.

Thanks,
Gavin

There may be a behavior somewhere around - look up trees there [msdn] - basically it is just a list which shows and hides it's parts [style.display]

Hey GP,

Are you talking about the tree-view on the lefthand side on the msdn library pages? If you are, that ain't javascript buddy, thats xml! We just duplicated it for our project, and it took a bit of time to get everything perfect (mind you, we're utilizing a sql server to hold the different nodes and loading them from there, whereas the msdn site is just a bunch of xml docs).

If you want to read more about how they did it, check out here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwebgen/html/msdntoc.asp

or search msdn using "msdn toc" and you should get some results that talk about how to recreate it.

Hope this helps,

Jack
