It's all about your database stucture. Once that is right it's easy to build. Then you need to have a couple of variables that keep track of what category and subcategory you are on. Those variables are then past from page to page in a session cookie or in a query string. I've done it once now, but I'm no expert. That's the basic idea of it.

Good luck...

This did not solve my problem. Let med show you an example:

I have my Monitor for sale and it is a 17" CRT monitor. In the database it looks like this:

Category Monitor
Subcat CRT
Item 19" Samsung

On my tree menu i want to see the Category first. When i click on it the subcategory displayes and on click on the CRT I want it to show the item in that subcat.
