Using Lenya1.2.2, I created XML including the sitetree and the descriptions using XPathDirectory. This could be converted for your need. Would it be better as a page for a super web sitemap (like a normal web sitemap, but including the descriptions)? The normal use of menus is to allow quick navigation with as small a footprint as possible. I have trouble visualizing content pages with the descriptions included in the menus; it would quickly become user-unfriendly. solprovider --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
