I am looking at having more flexibility in arranging images on a web page. I want to have an explorer style menu on the left and be able to select an image from the list and then view it on the right hand side of the page. The items are either full screen html, ½ or ¼ screen.
See current "non explorer style menu" web site as an idea.

I have found a javascript explorer menu (dhtmlxTree) that uses xml data and enables me to select the file, which will load a corresponding url for that image which has been defined in the xml.
Once selected I would then like to click on a header or existing image and get it replaced by the one I have selected from the list. As per the current web site if the image selected is ¼ screen it can easily replace the existing image. However if the image selected is ½ screen (horizontal) I need it to take up the space of two ¼ screen images. Each image has small menu that sits above each area as per the existing web site.
Thus
If I select a file which is a html file I need it to fill the entire right hand side.
If I select a file which is ¼ screen I would like to choose if it displays in Upper right UL LL LR
If I select a ½ screen display in upper or lower portion of the area.
I think I can get the menu tree to work and load a url once item is slected, however don't know how to load the url to the display area. Iframes div tables ???
