Re: Iterate through tree structure

Hi

Sure.  Dir3 wouldn't be in the navigation at that level in the example
as its not a parent of Dir4  - its only a child of Dir3.  The
navigation only lists parent directories. So the further you go down
in the navigation the more parents you'll see. Does that make sense?

The last 2 directories need to be a separate UL to accomodate the
stylesheet design - I don't have any control over this as it's from a
different oranisation.

Many thanks

Jim
