Displaying data

[Shreya Menon]

Hi all,
I need to display the data coming from my backend in the form of a tree with parent child relationships in the front end.
My data is from database. Say these are records from table with the parent child relationship.
Now I have to show this relationship when the data gets displayed in the page.
How do I do that ?
Thanks
Maya

PHP could handle that, it has graphics functions. i dont know how you would do it using JS

[Eric Pascarello]

If it is a database, it would have to be server side.
Javascript could do it, if you were able to dynamically write the data into the html with a server side language.
Now that I have made no sense I will submit it

The app below does parent child.
Click on event M100...M10000
Then a picklist of entrants for the event is loaded to the left.
I keep the data seperate from the dynamic display.The data is usually just a set of related javascript arrays.
Note: this was written a long time ago

Charlie,
it displays the data in seperate lines.
But I want the data to be displayed in layers say with a + sign...
Thanks
