Hello all,

I have a little dilemna here:

I am using php/css/mysql to generate a hierarchical table of
categories and sub-categories and sub-sub.. Etc..

A screenshot can be found here:

http://www.internet46.fr/mehim/screenshot.jpg

Now i'm also using javascript to hide show blocks of divs
to hide/show
sub categories.. Typical..

My issue is on page reload, i have a form on the same page, when a
category is clicked, the categorie info displays and you can update
the info through this form (table and form on same page). My issue
comes when i post the data, the page comes back and my
category tree
folds up which is normal because all divs are set to
"display:none;".

I have managed to pass a post/get called lastclicked that gets the
nodepath of that element and combined with php to generate
javascript
that will unfold the tree and highlight the last clicked element...

I would like to go one step further and save the entire
state of the
tree, say several parent categories are unfolded and i click a
subcategorie to display my form, i want that entire "state" un
unfolded categories to be displayed not just the clicked
category, of
course i can get this state and save it in a javascript
array, but my
issue is when i post my form how do i pass that state data
generated
by javascript back to the page, to be able to unfold the
tree in the state it was previously?

What are the technologies IF there are any and what should
i look up
to find docs that cover this type of datatransfer ie:
javascript->php.

Regards,

Tim

I think you want to use sessions for this :)

Ok, i can put the data in the session variable, but i can only get the
"current" state through javascript

ie:onsubmit="getstate()"; which would get the id's of the blocks that are
set to display:block;

But in getstate() how do i pass that to php to set that session variable?

ps. Maybe you could also use AJAX instead of submitting forms
the whole time.

In the next version of my framework i would like to, i still havent quite
understood the whole concept, not enough research yet, but yes i'll be doing
that next ;) (you know deadlines, can't sit and read docs all day etc..
Although i'd rather!)

;)

Regards,

Tim
