DOM-based cross-browser navigation tree needed

[James Agnew]

Hello

I'm trying to find a javascript/DOM navigation tree to use in a
web-based content management system, to allow navigation of > 10,000
folders/files.

The javascript (non-DOM) tree we currently use is running too slowly
as it cannot dynamically load in nodes when users select a node to
expand. This is critical for us. The top level of the tree hirarchy
only has 20 or so nodes, but each node might contain up to 1,000
nodes.

So what we need is for the tree to process and display the first tier
(20 nodes) and then only process sub-nodes if the expand icon is
clicked.

Does anyone know whether such a tree exists?

It needs to be compatible with all modern browsers (IE 5+, Netscape
6+, Opera 7+, Konqueror 2+, Safari etc). I've looked at several
different examples, but none of them (AFAIK) appear to be fully
compatible with the above list of browsers.

Any suggestions or points in the right direction are greatly
appreciated.

Thanks, James

Does the one used in

work with all of them?

Thanks for the link. I tested the tree in IE 6.0.2 on XP pre-SP2 and
it caused IE to crash whenever I clicked the 'history' node.

Thanks for the bug report. I'll look into it.
