    dynamic list of sub-sections only

    Hi, currently I am using a javascript (SectionList function) to create a dynmaic list of all sections and sub-sections.

    This works great, but what I really want to do is just list the sub-sections in one section, not all sections.

    Is there a way to do this either by adapting the current javascript or some other way all together?

    Thanks in advance, K.

    Current Javascript:

    in BODY:
    <script language=Javascript1.1>document.write(SectionList(section_tree))</script>

    In HEAD:
    Code:
    <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTREE_RAW -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function SectionList(ar)
{
var strIDs = '';
for (var i=1;i<=ar.length;i++)
  {
  if (ar[i].sURL !=null)
    {
    strIDs += '<HR noshade size="1" width="90%" align="center"><strong><a class="SectionTop" href="' + ar[i].sURL + '">' + ar[i].sName +  '</a></strong><BR>';
      {
      if (ar[i].pChild)
        {
        for (var j=1;j<=ar[i].pChild.length;j++)
          {
strIDs += '<em><a class="SectionChild" href="' + ar[i].pChild[j].sURL + '">' + ar[i].pChild[j].sName + '</a></em><BR>';          
 
            {
            if (ar[i].pChild[j].pChild)
              {
              for (var k=1;k<=ar[i].pChild[j].pChild.length;k++)
                {
 
  strIDs += '<a class="SectionChildChild" href="' + ar[i].pChild[j].pChild[k].sURL + '">' + ar[i].pChild[j].pChild[k].sName + '</a><BR>';
 
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
strIDs += '' 
return strIDs
}

</SCRIPT>

    Hi Kris

    If I understood the query correctly, you wish to only display the sub-sections within a section. If yes, you could try the following work-around which will generate a drop-down list of the sub-sections within a parent section :

    Edit the primary template and rename it if you wish to use this workaround for only some sections.

    Code:
    In the primary template :

- uncomment the following lines in the HEAD part:

NETQUOTEVAR:CHILDSECTIONS_NAMES
NETQUOTEVAR:CHILDSECTIONS_URLS

Add the following lines into the <HEAD> section 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">[/HTML]<!--
/*********************************************************

* ACT_DropLBChild -     returns a string containing the HTML for the 
SELECT listbox[/QUOTE]*
************************************************************************/

function ACT_DropLBCHild(arn, aru)
        {
        var strIDs = '<SELECT SIZE="1" NAME="ACT_droplbchild" onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value) window.location.href=(options [selectedIndex].value)">'
        var sel = " SELECTED"
        strIDs += '<OPTION ' + sel + ' VALUE="">Select a Section</OPTION>'
        for (var i=1;i<=arn.length;i++)
                {
                if (aru[i].sURL !=null)
                        {
     strIDs += '<OPTION VALUE="' + aru[i].sURL +  '&NOCLEARFRAMES=1">' + arn[i].sName + '</OPTION>'
                        }
                }
        strIDs+='</SELECT>'
        return strIDs
        }//-->
</SCRIPT>

- Paste the following lines in the <BODY> portion of the template where the list should appear:

   <form name="Act_ChildSectionDroplist">
valign="middle" align="center">
        <script language=Javascript1.1>
        <!--
        document.write(ACT_DropLBCHild(child_sections_names, 
child_sections_URLs))
        // -->
        </script>
        </form>
    -Now upload the site and view the changes.

    Hope this helps.
