All corporations' requirements differ from one another. Odds are the requirements I have for my tree are much different than the requirements you may have for yours. XML provides us with the perfect interface to describe our unique tree entities. The format you choose will have a direct effect on your XSL style sheets and your client operations. The format I have chosen is good for a recursive XSL style sheet, which satisfies the requirement within this article for a folder tree of unlimited depth.
The XMLdo
cument I have constructed contains a root element named "tree" that can contain only "entity" elements. The structure of your tree is implicitly defined here by nesting entity elements within the "contents" element of other entity elements. Below is a listing of all elements or attributes that belong to the "entity" element.
Within your individual trees, use the entity element to append specific data about each object in your tree. This could be the ID of a record in a database that the entity is representing. In upcoming articles I will demonstrate how to create an entity-specific context menu that is implemented by the addition of an "oncontextmenu" element to our entity element.
The following XML is the XML we will be using in this article. For illustration purposes I have created a static XMLdo
cument instead of implementing a dynamic XML database query.
