recordset as a treeview

[David Shorthouse]

Hello folks,

I have been looking for a means to generate a recordset as a treeview in
pure asp, collapsible/expandable by one field in the set as either a "+" or
"-". Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ideally, I'd like to not
have to generate the entire recordset to deliver this tree view but have
these expandable records generate with an "onclick" or something similar,
but if it can't be help, I could live with it.

Thanks for any guidance,

David Shorthouse

You're talking about a clientside user interface, but ASP is a
server-side platform.

It sounds to me that your thinking about an AJAX (Asynchronous
Javascript And XML) system. Think of Google maps, which can get more
data from the server dynamically as the user drags the map any which
way.

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, I know asp is server-side, but what I was
hoping for is to somehow return recordsets in a hierarchical manner with
client-side onclick javascript.

Thanks,

I think that you're either going to have to make the "+" sign or level
name a hyperlink and refresh the entire page when it's clicked, or
investigate AJAX.
