Here's something that would be nice to do.  I'm pretty sure this is an issue
that server side scripting alone can't handle, but any comments would be
nice.

I'll describe the hypothetical application, which is building an outline
tree.  The user starts with a single parent item.  Under that, he can add
multiple other children, each of which can also be a parent to its own
children.  

The question is - whats the best way to handle the dynamic building?  I've
seen a few Java applets that do it, but afterwards you have to get the
information out of Java.  I could do this with CF, but it means redrawing
the screen every time you add a new child...thats just not satisfying,
especially when the outline get very large.

I've thought of Javascript to handle it, but while JS isn't taboo in our
company, it isn't highly encouraged since it can be turned off...

Any suggestions?  Right now I'm leaning toward Java.  Is there a good CF
thing that could be used instead?
