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. The second isn't as easy as one would think. The tree tag [+]/[-] links do not include the query string, which produces error if the currently display document happens to need the parameters, like some SQL results.
I'd probably prefer the tree tag include the QUERY_STRING of the current REQUEST when generating the fold in/out URLs, this would make creating websites much easier. A completely another thing are POSTed pages, they should probably not be reincluded automatically in the URL. Why? The HTTP RFC specifies, that POST should not be repeated without user interaction, because it might alter the state of the Webserver (like creating some object), while GET methods may be repeated without side effects. That's also why netscape asks `Repost form data' when reloading a page that resulted from a POST.
