Has anybody built a menu control via a hierarchical structure in a database.
If so could you please help me out.

I want to get a structure from a db then build the menu up on the fly. Any
examples would be great.

Thanks in advance

Shem,

Try the example found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/02/WickedCode/default.aspx

This builds a menu using a database.

Happy Tuesday,
Robert

Cool man.

I checked this out last night and it works great except one thing.

Everything in this examples starts with one root node and then all the other
nodes are displayed below as you would expect. Is it possible to display
multiple root nodes from the offset, e.g when you go to a website it is very
rare that there is only one link displayed whci means you have to select this
to get all the other links. I want to be able to display lots of "root" nodes
like Home, About, Pictures etc, each of which have there child nodes. How do
you do this?????????

Thanks again

Shem,

Well to build the html for the menu I used one of the examples found at
http://www.aplus.co.yu/adxmenu/intro/
http://www.aplus.co.yu/adxmenu/examples/

Right now our web content people are building a custom CSS for our site
but you could use the css on the adxmenu to get it to work.

Happy Wednesday,
Robert
