I think the thing that would convince me to buy it is... Can I dynamically build up menus using this SB from a record set?On my sites, the menu options that a user sees depends on who he is, what groups he is a member of etc. For example, he may be aboe to upload an article, but no edit someone elses - but if he is a member of the Editors groups, then he CAN edit articles...
Is it possible to build menus up from a recordset, disk file (csv etc) or XML file?

Hi Mark,
Layer Genie is not a SB (Sever Behavior), but a client-side behavior: it generates JavaScript to be processed in the visitor's browser, not on the server.
Layer Genie manipulates layers (shows/hides them with advanced display effects) and keeps track of dependency relations between them.
What's in these layers is really up to you. And as such you can fill the layers (or even build them) based on a recordset, but Layer Genie will not do that for you.
Regards,

Thanks Marja,
Are there any examples/tutorials on how this would typically be done? I think I saw a link about some tutorials, so I'll go and check now. If not tho, a tutorial on using this with, say, a Recordset SB would be great <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_kisses.gif border=0 align=middle>

There are no tutorials for Layer Genie in combination with a recordset yet.
But it is a good idea... we'll think about this.
