I'm currnetly gathering the software tools I'll need to create a reverse auction website for my current employer and we have decided to use ASP and SQL Server on our own webserver. I've gooten nearly everything I'll need but there is one tool I can't seem to find.
What I need is a tool for building a database-driven DHTML or Javascript navigation menu. I tried a free trial version from SourceTec and it's far too unweildy to do anything quickly. Anyone know of a decent easy-to-learn package to accomplish this task?

TIA
 
I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're just looking for a navigation menu that links to database stuff, then any html editor will do the job. If you're looking to generate the menu dynamically from items in the database, isn't that what asp is for? I'd prefer php and MySQL, as it's faster and free(ish), but that is kind of the whole point of preprocessors.

Cheers,
Rat.
 
I'd prefer that too but unfortunately it's ASP. The peoeple who sign my paycheck decided.;) But anyways I'm sure I could whip up something with ASP but they want a menu similar to the sidebar that appears on the msnbc.com website. What I'm looking for is a tool that can speed up the development rather than me slogging for hours hand coding the menu. It will be a menu with as many sub-levels as required according to the database so the user can drill down to the item category s/he is looking for.

Anyways I'm still looking.
 
Use a javascript menuing system like the ones here. Just change the .js file that defines the tree/menu to dynamic file created with asp.
