Re: [xsl] Cascading Menu (with Open/Closed Icons) and displayed children

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

I looked at your problem, and while I dare say your code could be debugged, 
I'm sort of disinclined to do this since there's a far easier way. *If*, 
that is, your output, instead of a flat table structure (with depth 
indicated by indentation from spacer images), could be rendered as a nested 
structure of some kind, like

<div><span>C item 1</span></div>
<div><span>O item 2</span>
  <div><span>O item 2.1</span>
      <div><span>C item 2.1.1</span></div>
      <div><span>C item 2.1.2</span></div>
      <div><span>C item 2.1.3</span></div>
  </div>
</div>
<div><span>C item 3</span></div>
<div><span>C item 4</span></div>

...which could format as nicely as the tables in HTML (in modern browsers).

Is this an option for you?

Cheers,
Wendell
