Re: [boost] Help request, boost docs - tree folding menu

At the cost of reproducing the menu in each page (the generation is automatic, but the download is a little longer), there is many possibilities:
- use a div with fixed or static positioning - use a css based unroling menu (pure css) (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/ http://www.alistapart.com/d/horizdropdowns/horizontal2.htm http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/#resettop http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/example/ ) - hybrid menu http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hybrid/ http://www.alistapart.com/d/hybrid/hybrid-4.html

yep. That's what I said. But the pure CSS menu have serious drawback of not remembering the state between page reloads. AFAIK ! Also, I have just tested that boost serialization docs work as a charm on IE5, which is about 8 years old! :) I would only make the indentation for sublevels to be much smaller, eg. just "1.5em". -- Janek Kozicki |

I am not a frame lover, but I think we can offer them and an option to hide it permanently. I will give it a try when I got some time. Important --------------------------------------------------------------------- We really can use all your ideas. Please move further discussions to the boost-docs list. We do not want to clutter boost list with this kind of stuff. We will do periodic post to inform about the state of the "Improving Boost Docs" project to keep everyone informed, but all related discussion must happen in the boost-docs list where it belongs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks! Best regards Matias

I belive that it can be done without frames. Just a table or div. I don't like frames either. -- Janek Kozicki |

Note that I'm proposing to use J. Turkanis tree navigator which was offered as an improvement over the one used by the boost serialization documentation. I believe it is more universal and robust than the one in boost serialization - even though that one has never raised any complaint.
