Creating Navigational Links with Response Docs & Embedded View

Anyone have any suggestions on how to create a set of navigational links for the left side of a web page, similar to the ones on these pages?

What I am looking for is a way to present navigational links that are created when I add a web page. I would like the web pages and links to be in a typical web page type of hierarchy. For example:

Cars

  • Chevy

  • Ford

  • Chrysler

– PT Cruiser

Motorcyles

Boats

(I added the dashes as a way to space this display. I do not have them in my actual view.)

I tried to use response docs and embedded views, but every time I clicked on a subcategory or pages underneath a category, the view collapsed, and all I saw was something like this:

Cars

Motorcyles

Boats

even if I was actually on a page further down the hierarchy, like PT Cruiser.

Am I doing something wrong with my response docs or with the embedded view? Or is this the way embedded views and displaying response docs work? Is there no way to keep the view opened or expanded to the level I am on? Or is this caused by my loading a new page, and thus a new view? Do I need frames to solve this? If there a better way other than frames?

How are other people creating links dynamically, i.e. add a web page to your site and have a link created automatically?

Thanks for any tips or help.

Well I use an agent that prints the Javascript and HTML. That allows for all the dynamics you want…

Also you can use an embedded outline with programtic lables.

Those are just two of many options…

Could you be more specific? I do not see how java script would help. Could you post a little more info on this?

And you mention using outlines. Can outlines be data driven? That is if I add a new web page as a doc to my database, will a new link be created in the outline? Or do I have to modify the outline and add links?

Thanks for the post.
