You will need to do this in code. We have implemented a few of these
and they bascially all follows the same pattern. Note, this code is
not Unicode capable. Also note I beleive this is leagacy ASP code
written in JScript.
Loop thru your navigation:
<%
// variable to hold the entries we need to display
var arrLetters = new Array();
<!IoRangeList>
// get the letter for the page and add to letters list
var intLetter = "<%hdl_PageName
%>".substring(0,1).toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0) - 65;
// create the array if necessary
if (arrLetters[intLetter] == undefined) arrLetters[intLetter] =
new Array();
// add the entry to the list
arrLetters[intLetter].push("<%hdl_PageName%>|<%lst_Navigation%>");
<!/IoRangeList>
%>
that builds up an array of letters, and each array (per letter) is
either undefined (no items with that letter) or antoher array of items
beginning with that letter
<%
/************************************************
* LOOP FOR ALL THE ENTRIES TO SHOW THE BUTTONS *
************************************************/
for (var intLoopLetter = 65; intLoopLetter < 91; intLoopLetter ++)
{
// get the letter that we're dealing with
var strLetter = String.fromCharCode(intLoopLetter);
%>
<li id="iABC-<%=strLetter%>" class="ABC-<%=strLetter
%>">
<%
// do we have that letter in the list to show
if (arrLetters[intLoopLetter - 65] == undefined)
{
%>
<span><%=strLetter%></span>
<%
}
else
{
%>
<a href="#iABC-<%=strLetter%>-List" title=""><
%=strLetter%></a>
<%
}
%>
</li>
<%
}
%>
then once you have the list of available Letters, you show the
content. Each letter gets its own div, and items within that div
correspond to the page
<!IoRangeNoRedDotMode>
<%
/*****************************************
* LOOP FOR ALL THE ENTRIES TO SHOW THEM *
*****************************************/
// get the letter that we're dealing with
var strLetter = "";
var strActualLetter = "";
var strMyLetter = "";
%>
<!/IoRangeNoRedDotMode>
<!IoRangeList>
<%
// get the letter we're dealing with
strActualLetter = "<%hdl_PageName%>".toUpperCase().substring(0,1);
// are we a different letter
if (strActualLetter != strLetter)
{
if (strLetter != "")
{
%>
</ul>
</div>
<%
}
// save the letter for later
strLetter = strActualLetter
%>
<div class="list" id="iABC-<%=strLetter%>-List">
<h3><%=strLetter%></h3>
<ul>
<%
}
%>
<li>
<a href="<%lst_Navigation%>"><%hdl_PageName%></a>
</li>
<!/IoRangeList>
<!IoRangeNoRedDotMode>
<%
// always need to show the closing bit
%>
</div>
<!/IoRangeNoRedDotMode>
</div>
<%
}
%>
Obviosuly I've left some HTML out, but it should get you started.
Also note that if your list is not sorted alphanumerically, then you
will have to sort the entries in each sub-array.
