texte = Unless your categories and subcategories are changing all the time, you should probably be storing those options in a text file that you can include in your form. I have a site that rewrites the options file only once a day. This makes it always current (within 24 hours) so it does not have to be built on-the-fly every time someone accesses the page. It makes the page load much faster. You wouldn't even have to rewrite the options file every day if you create a special admin page that does it only when the categories or subcategories are changed ... :) Sincerely, Kenneth Grome www.kengrome.com >Hi Donovan > >The code came from storebuilder, not hte site builder, basically it looks >for the categories and then the sub categories, its a version of the >sitemap.inc file whioch lists every category and subcategory > >As our entire cat and subcat is based on this format its become and issue >cause basically at present the main navigation menu lists the main >categories, when you click on one then they open to show the sub categories >etc, all we wanted to do was to either expand them all of have a dynamic >menu that does this > >eitehr way is OK, and I need some help with it! > >THanks >Paul >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Donovan Brooke" >To: "WebDNA Talk" >Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 9:44 PM >Subject: Re: category index, drop down list > > >> Paul Berman wrote: >> > Hi >> > >> > I have this code that produces the category and sub categoy list, mainly >> > from storebuilder >> > >> > it is very very slow and I cannot see why, all we wanted to do is >produce a >> > category and subcategory list in the left hand menu, not have to click >on >> > the category to expand it each time unless thsi can be in a dynamic menu >> > >> > Help appreciated, can anyone help with this? >> > >> > Thanks >> > Paul >> >> Could be lots of reasons paul but hard to tell if you can't isolate >> something.
