hierarchical html listbox with mimicking file explorer level folding
- by collapsar
hello everybody,
i'm looking for a technique to adapt a html listbox to hierarchical content with an unlimited number of levels ( const 1 would be sufficient ). hierarchy levels should be collapsible as in the usual file explorer views. the html listbox behaviour should be preserved / mimicked as comprehensively as possible. do you have a hint on where to find or how to implement this ? jquery solutions are fine.
firefox 3.5+, ie 8+, safari 5 must be supported; opera 11, chrome 9 would be nice.
as far as i understand the issue, listbox contents are rendered inside their own browser window sporting none of the standard window adornments. a hint on how to obtain a handle on this window in js would be a sufficient starting point, as well as correcting me in case i misconceived the browser behaviour.
thanks in advance for your efforts,
best regards,
carsten
