There are loads and loads of DHTML menus out there, e.g.
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/hvmenu/
with the actual menu code taken care of, all you have to do is recurse over
your database and write out the menu items.
last time i checked, cftree outputs a java applet, not javascript.
do you not know how to recurse?
heres some pseudo code
variables.inst.menuqry = getAllCategories();
function buildmenu(currentid){
var i=0;
for(i=1; i lte variables.inst.menuqry.recorcount; i=i+1){
if(variables.inst.menuqry.parent_id[i] eq arguments.currentID)
writeoutput(your javascript);
buildmenu(variables.inst.menuqry.id[i]);
}
}
}
buildmenu(yourrootid);

Subject: Recursion anyone?
Hi
I keep returning to this problem in order to build an infinite DHTML menu (a
task which has now become a quest and a matter of honour). Does anyone know
how to recurse through an adjacency list model table, of the following setup
ID CategoryName ParentItemID
Also, I hear you can use CFTREE format="xml" or format="object" and then use
that to make a DHTML menu? anyone have any experience
Muchos Thank You's
Steve
