You're correct. It simply reincludes itself till it no longer finds a dependency. I know there are more efficient ways to do it but it works for this example.
This discussion forces me to revisit. One day I'll purty it up a bit more and put it up for download somewhere. Haven't looked at it for some time.

Here's a use of treeview.nets treeview with recursion. http://fullcitymedia.com/apps/treeview You can download the code here. http://fullcitymedia.com/apps/treeview/treeview.zip Take a look, might be similar to what you're looking for.

Thanks Kerry I'm starting to understand, got no experience of cfscript but it seems a lot like actionscript. Unfortunately I've tried to run the code and I'm getting the following error. Context validation error for tag cfscript. The start tag must have a matching end tag. An explicit end tag can be provided by adding </cfscript>. If the body of the tag is empty you can use the shortcut <cfscript .../>. This is the exact code.... <cfquery datasource="#DSN#" name="getAllCategories"> SELECT itemid,parentitemid,adcategoryname FROM tblAdvertTypes </cfquery> <cfscript> variables.inst.menuqry = getAllCategories; function buildmenu(currentid,depth){ var i=0; for(i=1; i lte parentitemid.menuqry.recorcount; i=i+1){ if(variables.inst.menuqry.parentitemid[i] eq arguments.currentID) writeoutput(repeatstring(">",arguments.depth)&variables.menuqry.adcategoryna me[i]&"<br>"); buildmenu(variables.inst.menuqry.itemid[i],arguments.depth+1); } } buildmenu(10,0) </cfscript> Steve ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
