Hi,
I am trying to build a new tree style menu for my website. You can see the current one here - www.hostcompanies.com . Although this works fine, it is a heavy bit of code and it slows down the page a lot on a slow connection.

There are lots of tree menus available on the web, however i cannot find one that will enable search engines to crawl the links in the menu and in a frameless enviroment.

I did find a script over at dynamic drive, that is quick.. does the job and is crawlable. Problem is that the bullet items appear too far over to the right. How could i alter the script to position the menu better?

The script is half javascipt and half html. It uses the bullet list command to display the menu items. So in actual fact.. if i could reposition the bullet items somehow... i could get this script to do what i want.

You can see the script here - www.hostcompanies.com/menutest2.htm .

Can this script be changed to do what i want?

Perhaps i should just see if anyone can make me a lightweight script that is similar - sitepoint itself uses a script on the forum homepage which would do what i want.

HostingDirectory,

When you say that 'the bullet items appear too far over to the right', do you mean that there is too much space between the connecting lines and the actual text?

I suspect CSS is going to be the tool of choice for repositioning the items in question.
