i think that you can do this with one table, and a couple columns. 1. id (int or uuid, doesnt matter) 2. menuItemLabel (varchar of some length) 3. parentID (default 0 or null)
then to get the top level, get where parentID = 0 or null then for each record, run a query of query based on the id you have for the top level one you are on in your iteration, and just go from there. i think you can nest as many as you want to make sure it goes and gets all nested sub categories, but as long as you know the limit of those, you can make this work, with one trip to the database, and then just some qofq work, and cfml layout with html intertwixted! :) hth tony On 2/16/06, Donna French <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Okay, so I've been reading several books on usability and finally decided to > break down and add a breadcrumb trail to my site.
