How can I organize my website with the home page showing two frames -
left showing folders that can be expanded and the right showing the
content of a page selected ?. I would like to do it in Unix
environment using perl or php and Apache server.
Thanks
Raj Kairam

Hello, kairamr:
  Are you looking for hints on how to do it, already existing scripts
you can customize or a custom solution?

Regards.

Thanks. Not a custom solution. Existing cgi scripts need to be redone.
Looking for any pointers on how it can be done via examples of scripts
others have done that I can look up and learn from them.

Hello, kairamr:
  In which language do you want the examples?, for example, PHP, Perl, etc

Regards.

Hello, Raj;

Here are some examples written in PHP.  The scripts I have listed
are all free.  There were some scripts which were not free, but I
didn't think they would do you much good since you are wanting
examples to modify for your site.

"EU-TreeMenue 1.0 is a Windows Explorer style tree menu based on
MySQL-tables.

Features:

    * Easy to use
    * 'Unlimited' number of levels
    * All items are linkable
    * Freeware

The MySQL-table contains the structure of your menu. As you can
see it's a really easy and quite intuitive way of creating your
menu.  Apart from some layout code and commenting, the real code
is just some lines."

"class.tree is a class for php. class.tree gives you an easy way to
create expandable tree lists. class.tree is designed and testet
for 4+ browsers with javascript enabled, tested with Netscape 4.7
and IE 5.0."
http://pbone.biz/index.php?id=50

"Node Tree handle expandable tree lists inside a browser like
Windows Explorer. It is based on a hierachical array. The
information, which node is opened, closed or choosed is posted by
HTML forms, so no extra file or DB needed for each session."

There don't seem to be as many PERL examples out there, but here
is one:

"Expanding Menus"
(NB: To download, use the download link in the nav menu on the
left.  It will expand to 2 versions of the script: expand12.zip
and expand-1.2.tar.gz.)
http://kuoi.asui.uidaho.edu/~collinf/scripts.html/expand/about/_ABdtdx

There are several PERL scripts that generate a treeview of the
server filesystem.  If you want to look at those for ideas, check
out this link:

Additional Links:

This is a JavaScript/DHTML treeview menu.  It is designed to work
with as many browsers as possible (it worked with Galeon 1.2.6
on Linux).
