hey michel, in regards to the tree navigation my setup is really simple. the documents in the tree are simply <standard_html_header> <document content goes here> <standard_html_footer> where the <tree> tag block itself is in the <standard_html_header>. so both document content and tree are in one DTML document, just a simple table setup. it's the very same layout used in the ZBook tutorial on creating a simple setup with a tree. in my case, since there is just one "chapter" (one book icon) it would be sufficient if i could just make that book appear open and revealing the few pages in it.

hi everyone,
this morning a list member had a question about how to synchronize a tree with a page being opened, i am trying to do the very same. it is not a problem to create a link to the specific document within the tree, but how can i make sure the tree that displays the navigational choices (it's in the standard_html_header of the document i am displaying) is in synch with the page i am linking to, meaning the book is "open"?
DO you mean you want a tree in one HTML frame, that is acurately mapped to the state of a document in another HTML frame? Or do you want both the tree and the document in one and the same frame? The second is probably fairly straightforward, the first would require some javascript tricks.
something else. in regards to michel's Question, i think it might be really hard to adequately describe zope in one sentence.......................... :)
That's why I asked. ;)
