Re: Volunteer wanted for PostgreSQL Techdocs - Mailing list pgsql-www

Hi,

The MSDN style navigation that I was experimenting with uses a xml tree
structure.

Assuming Bricolage creates files on disk:

1. It is possible to load the entire tree at ones. (this would make a slow
tree when the content grows)

2. It is possible to only load a small part of the tree when the user
expands a given node. Some thing like
http://zzzzzz/expand_node.php?node=what_ever_node_that_is_clicked

Regrads,
Gevik.
