Hi There,
i want to create a windows explorer style navigation tree in my
application
with tree branches you can expand and colapse. The nodes in the first
two levels of the tree shall be loaded when the tree is displayed
initialy.
The levels 3-x schall be loaded when the parent node is beeing
expanded.
(because loading the whole data for the tree takes about 30 seconds
now.
I’ve tested it by creating a simple unsorted html list. maybe
has_many :contracts, :include => evaluations isnt the best / fastest
way
to do this?)
so my questions are. is there a way to create such a tree with rails /
prototype / script.aculo.us
build in features? (an not-too-complicated way, i know “somebody”
could
write the whole js for such a tree by himself with prototype and so
on, but i cant 
)
acts_as_tree, as far as i see, is just a way to “manage” the hirarchy
of
a “tree-like” structure, isn’t it?
i’am sorry if i cant explain it better because my english is, uhm, low
level
greetings,
Pascal
