I've got a bookstore I'm developing, and I wanted to list all the
categories on the home page of the site. However, there are so many,
that they now extend way below the screen, making the page look sloppy.
I want, therefore, to limit the number of categories on the home page,
to a few general categores, then clicking on one will reveal the
subcatgories underneath.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Bill
PS. Could you please send me an email to respond to incase I have follow
up questions? Thanks, I appriciate it.

Ray, thank you, but I see I have not explained myself correctly. What
you have sent me are FAQ's about drop down lists and combo boxes. This
is not what I'm looking for.
What I'm talking about is when you have a column filled with category
names, that run down the left column of a page, and you click on one of
the category names, and all of the subcategories appear below it in a
node.
I'm not refering to list boxes or combo boxes or any other type of box.
Thanks, and sorry that I did not explain myself better.

What I'm talking about is when you have a column filled with category names, that run down the left column of a page, and you click on one of the category names, and all of the subcategories appear below it in a node.
For each of the Category links, include the ID of the category. For ex:
<a href="mypage.as p?cID=1">Fictio n</a>
<a href="mypage.as p?cID=2">Non Fiction</a>
....
Then, when you click on the link, mypage.asp should check for
Request("cID"), then do a query to get the subcategories that are associated
with this category ID, and display those subcategories using the same link
style:
<a href="mysubpage .asp?sID=1">Sci ence Fiction</a>
<a href="mysubpage .asp?sID=2">Rom ance</a>
....
Then, when you click on the link, mysubpage.asp should check for
Request("sID"), then do a query to get the books in that subcategory.
Hope this helps.

Whoops. Sorry about that.
I find the challenge of doing this not in the code, but in the fact that you
may have to work with other people on the site. What I mean is that I've
put together some pages that would look at
request.serverv ariable("path_i nfo") and expand sub-nav links accordingly.
But, when you have a designer who does everything in Dreamweaver, I don't
think that this will work. So, what I've had to do in the past was create
"top.asp" includes in each subfolder that would have the sub-nav hard-coded
(html'ed) for each subdirectory. This is the best compromise that I've been
able to come up with. It's still a bit of a PITA, since you still wind up
with multiple files that have the same HTML and would all have to be updated
if you wanted to change the navigation, but it's better than having a site
with 1000 static html pages that have the navigation all in them. That's a
mess. I'm actually in the process of converting our whole intranet from that
bad method to have a more manageable navigation system. When this intranet
was created, I didn't work here. That's my excuse!

Hello all,
I am working on a website for a bookstore and have run into a bit of a snag.
I am trying to write a form where an admin can set the category for a book.
However, categories can be of an arbitrary depth so I need something which
resembles a windows "tree view." For example:
Primary category Art and Architecture
has subcategory history
has subcategory African etc etc.
