Re: Site navigation control

I looked into that, but couldn't see a way to do it using frames.

You can open a document you know the url of as the top level
document, which hides the tree control,

However, I don't know how to find the url of the document already
showing in a frame in order to open it as the new top level
document.

Does anyone know how to do this?

It is however possible to do it in the "on site" tree.

If you go to
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/site_ex/tree.htm

and navigate to one of the entries,

you will see that I have added a "Show tree" and "hide tree"
link to the page.

I've also made the site control occupy more space than it needs
with rather a lot of space round it, and perhaps it doesn't need
so much, as it has its own border,

I'll try putting a bit less space around it,

One can also make the tree control itself any size and shape that
one likes.

In fact, it can also go at the top of the page, and one could make
an alternative version like that.

Here it is:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/tree/tree_hor.htm

Also done the same for the on site tree, as one may prefer it
that way:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/site_ex/tree_hor.htm

Note that if anyone wants to give the url to an faq entry, you need
to link to the on-site tree, and that's the only one that
lets you hide the tree and see what the urls are for the pages.

Alternatively one can use the ascii bookmark system for links, and then
you can look at the working draft tree and see what ascii bookmarks
the author has added for sub sections of the entry (if any)
for the last field of the ascii bookmark.

It will all be much clearer once I've written the program and
we can see a larger tree with many entries in it!

This didn't work at all for me. All I got was a blank space to the
left where the huge tree had been... Something was wrong.

Well, Robert, this tree is HUGE and takes up MORE than half the
screen! Surely this is not the solution as it stands...

I couldn't even access this page... something went wrong.

Perhaps there is another "tree program" that will let a person hide a
tree or maybe even open it in another window??

If not, I guess we'll just have to "live with it" somehow...

Thanks!

Sorry about that.

Not sure exactly what happened - the necessary files seemed to be
there in the folder.

But. I uploaded them all again and it is working fine now.
