Dynamic Navigation

Where can I find information on building dynamic navigation systems that will be pulling from xml files. The pages within the site will be changing regularly and the navigation nedds to be able to handle that wil an xml file.

Where can I find this information?

Thanks,

John

I assume you're looking to learn a server side language?

It's my experience that ASP.NET is well-designed for this.
J2EE has that capability as well.

PHP is a cheap and easy language to learn, although I can't speak much towards it's XML capabilities.
I haven't dealt with them too much, maybe someone else hre has?

You are correct. However, is thee a way to program this from the client-side?

Also, does anyone know of any online resources out there that could help me in learning this?

THANKS!!

Well, it looks like JavaScript might be a good route to go. I know that JavaScript can read and parse XML files, but I'm not perfectly clear on the details. Again, one of the best places to is <a href="http://www.w3schools.com">W3Schools.com</a>. Hope this helps.

Looks like I missed responding to the original question, and granted that it's five months old, I assume you've moved on.

Even though Javascript is capable of doing this, I want to advise against it. If the user has Javascript disabled, your entire navigation system is broken

Woops, looks like I missed the "Last Reply" information. I'm new to DevForums. Sry!

No worries. The question was left unanswered, and you were answering the question.
The bigger problem is when others come on with their own similar questions, essentially hijacking the dead thread.

Welcome to the forums btw.
