The relation between click and the display of the corresponded array child elements, without using js, is the hardest to understand: The user will click on a link / the URL will change / the new page will be loaded to the user / the information displayed on that page should be related with the element clicked on the first step. So, the next page, should know what we have clicked before, in order to display the information accordingly. One of the ways that this can be done, is by passing params over the URL. The URL param will tell us what element have we clicked, so it should be based on URL. Once we have that, we need to ask: as that value passed on the url a correspondent array element that contains children? If so, display them. (I realize my incapacity of talking technically, by referring to "pages" and other odd entities. I'm sorry for that). Does the above makes any sense? Thanks a lot, Márcio
