I wouldn't mind having a look at the XSL for this. I'm doing something
similar and have been banging my head against a wall.
(At least if you could show me some resources on the net which might be
useful, I'd be most grateful)

Subject: Re: [xsl] Cascading Menu (with Open/Closed Icons) and displayed
children
Brian,
I looked at your problem, and while I dare say your code could be debugged,
I'm sort of disinclined to do this since there's a far easier way. *If*,
that is, your output, instead of a flat table structure (with depth
indicated by indentation from spacer images), could be rendered as a nested
structure of some kind, like
<div><span>C item 1</span></div>
<div><span>O item 2</span>
<div><span>O item 2.1</span>
<div><span>C item 2.1.1</span></div>
<div><span>C item 2.1.2</span></div>
<div><span>C item 2.1.3</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div><span>C item 3</span></div>
<div><span>C item 4</span></div>
...which could format as nicely as the tables in HTML (in modern browsers).
Is this an option for you?
Cheers,
Wendell

OK, I've been researching this in the archive and I can't find a match
and I'm stumped. I want to create a menu of the sort:
Parameter selected (item 2.1) displays:
C item 1
O item 2
O item 2.1 *
C item 2.1.1
C item 2.1.2
C item 2.1.3
C item 3
C item 4
Basically, I want to specify a parameter and have it display the cascaded
menu for me. I want it to display the menu items at the top level and
for any item that is selected (e.g. item 2.1 above), I want it to display
the open folder for that item and the closed folder for it's children.
The XSL almost works. I'm able to display the tree, but when the selected
item has a sibling with children, I get erroneous results. The selected
items children plus it's sibling's children shows up in the view. Can
anyone point out why?
If you change the param to 1.1, it works fine. But leaving it at 2.1.1
gives bad results. Thanks.
