Multi-level Dropdown Lists

[fripper]

I want to create a dropdown list of items whereby the
user can click on the first (header) item and then a list
of subitems will appear ... some of these subitems may be
headers for subitems at yet another level, etc. Now, I
do not want any bullets or numbering or any sort ... I
just want the user to be able to expand these lists to
see items that will be links to various pages. I would
like to be able to individually format each header and
item and I want the items to be single spaced.

Essentially what I want to do is have the same sort of
item hierarchy that MSDN sometimes uses in the left frame
where the user can click on a category and links to sites
that ha ve to do with that category appear in an indented
dropdown list.

I would appreciate some suggestions for where I can go to
look for information on how to do this.

Thanks very much ... and Happy Holidays!

For simple requirements, create a bulleted list in
FrontPage, select and right-click it, choose List
Properties, and select both Enable Collapsible Outines
and Initially Collapsed.

If you don't want the bullets to show, use Picture
Bullets and specify a transparent GIF file as the bullet.

For more complex lists, the usual term for this is
a, "tree view". You can find billions of ways to create
these by searching google for:

"tree view" dhtml
