Hmmm, my previous reply appears not to have gone through. Anyhow, I've built a quick proof of concept locally. Whether it would work for you would depend on a few things.
- Do you have any constraints on how data is stored? - When a node with children is closed, then re-opened, should any children that were open last time remain open or start again as closed? - You said it needs to be accessible (that's good), so you don't /really/ want it using tables, right? (Because this isn't tabular data, it's nested-list data, and thus should be using nested lists.) If you can answer these questions, and let me know how you want things to look, I can hopefully provide what you want, complete with comments on what each bit is doing so you can learn how it works. :) > Hello anybody who takes the time to read this! > > I am not new to CFM but have not hit it to deep as of this point. > Here is my problem and I hope I can explain this well enough. > > I have a page that will be driven left to right based on a > parent/child relationship.
