All,

This is rather a complex question... I am hoping someone can help me... I have written a recursive function in VBScript that builds a dynamic tree from our SQL database. I don't know JavaScript very well, so I've downloaded code to help in building a collapsible tree structure without refreshing the page. I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to port my nicely formed tree into JavaScript.

Basically, the JS code I'm using makes use of functions and methods so that the tree is built similar to this:

level1ID = theMenu.addEntry(-1, "Folder1");
level2ID = theMenu.addChild(level1ID, "ChildObject1");
level2ID = theMenu.addEntry (level2ID, "ChildObject2");
level2ID = theMenu.addEntry(level2ID, "Folder");
level3ID = theMenu.addChild(level2ID, "Document");

I'm not sure how best to interface my recursive code with the above code to build a dynamic, data-driven solution.

Any ideas?

(If it means anything to anyone, I'm using "Joust" for my collapsible tree. Also, I'll freely send my code to anyone willing to help.)

All,

Just FYI - I ended up using a VBScript code tag inside the JavaScript function to build the code dynamically. This is the very first thing I tried and I received an error to the effect of "cannot place one code block inside of another", but a fellow programmer here at M2M told me to use this solution and wrote an example that worked.

I honestly have no idea what the difference was... But building the code dynamically simplified the process greatly. (See below)

<%
Response.Write("level"& arrJSLevel(i) &"ID = theMenu.addEntry(level"& arrJSLevel(i) &"ID, """ & arrJSValueOne(i) & """, """& arrJSValueTwo(i) &""", """& arrJSValueThree(i) &""", """& arrJSValueFour(i) &""");" & vbCrLf)
