I have a list of categories stored in db table. What i want is a script that i can generate a tree menu of these categories.
Table Structure:
------------------
id, name, subCounter, parentID
Example Row:
------------------
1, Traveling, 6, 0
2, Asia, 0, 1
So, in this example, Traveling and Asia are categories, but Traveling is the parent of Asia as Asia has a parentID of 1, which points to Traveling.
So, for the tree menu, I want it to be like:
_parent category1_
* subcategory1
* subcategory2
* subcategory3
_parent category2_
* subcategory1
* subcategory2
* subcategory3
_parent category3
_ * subcategory1
* subcategory2
* subcategory3
The default look will always have one parent category opened like this:
_**parent category1**
_ * subcategory1
* subcategory2
* subcategory3
_parent category2_
_parent category3_
When user click on parent category2, it will be:
_parent category1_
**_parent category2_
** * subcategory1
* subcategory2
* subcategory3
_parent category3
_When clicking on subcategory2 it will be:
_parent category1
parent category2_
* subcategory1
* **subcategory2
** * subcategory3
_parent category3_
I want a script that will work fine on all major browsers including IE6, IE7, Firefox 1 and 2 and Safari. I prefer someone to use just CSS and PHP to do this though...
