DHTML Outliners?

Are there any outliners existing that generate DHTML outlines similar to what is present at these URLs?

http://developerdude.mystarband.net/urls.html

I wrote those pages by hand, but I am exploring the possibility of writing an application that would generate similar DHTML from either user created outlines, or possibly other outline document formats (such as Word documents, OPML, XML, etc.).

Of course I am not really interested in reinventing the wheel. I am aware of OPML and UserLand, but as far as I know OPML/Userland requires a server or plugin be installed on the client side, whereas my goal is to generate either DHTML or XML/XSLT that requires nothing beyond an HTML browser.

Any thoughts/comments?

I can also be reached at DeveloperDude@starband.net

Thanks,

Hi Lauren.

I too am looking for a tool which does that, on the client side that is.

I program with PHP and I can make a server-side system which creates dhtml menus from entries in a database, or a structured text file but I haven't yet come across something that will do it from my desktop.

If I do find anything, I will let you know. And if you do first, please tell me too.

Have fun!
