Tree Menu function.
This is just one more html tree menu. There are 100's of menu's available, some free, some not. I wrote this because I did not find one, fast and simple enough for my purposes and because I got tired of all other java-script based pages that has to be browser sensitive and therefore gets to messy to maintain and rather slow if they get too complex. This one is quite unsophisticated, Simple, written in PHP and free. You can be download it here!

It is a simple and short tree menu function. The code is short, about 200 lines, not very sophisticated and easily modified but serves it's purpose quit well.
It was initially made for use in a frame based page, But it is useable both in a framebased page setup or included in a frameless page. There are a couple of sample pages supplied. It also uses a table to avoid word wrap if the frame is to narrow for the text but this may be removed and replaced if desired.

The menu consists of a couple files. One include file with all the code. One file that you edit as your menu with the menu definition ( this may optional be stored in an external data file or database ) and some icons. For small and reasonable static menus, the "in-line-menu" definition might be preferable.

The menu is tested in Mozilla 1, phoenix/Firebird 0.5, 0.6 Opera 5, 6, 7, InternetExplorer 5.
It should work in most browsers and versions used today, it is not very browser sensitive as the menu is created on the server side and does not use any sophisticated HTML (except frames if you use that). Tested to run with php 4.2 / Apache under Linux 2.4 (should work in other OS's and versions of php > 4 as well but this is not tested).
