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.servervariable("path_info") 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!

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.
Bill
