Page with one dynamic side

Question

Hello
How can I create a page with a menu (based on a list) on the left side and in the right side a dynamic content, something similar to [Denes Kubicek: ApEx Demo Application|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1:2889345291421940::NO:::]
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I know - the styles are wonderful, aren't they!!
Yes, you can identify the "current" list items.
On the list entry definition, you should see two settings:
List Entry Current for Pages Type - set this to Colon Delimited Page List
List Entry Current for Condition - enter in the page number (should be the same as for the target page).
For the "parent" list items, for the second setting, you can use a colon-delimited list of all the pages that it is the parent for.
Then you may need to adjust the List Template that you are using (you're probably doing this anyway to improve the existing style!!).
In the template definition, there are several settings called ".... Current ...." - these need to be updated with your styles.
I have done an example app ([http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=28071:1]) with a multi-level list using the Tree List template (actually, I created a copy called Tree List Menu). This has the following settings:
List Template Before Rows:
<div style="width:150px;">
<ul class="htmlTree">List Template Current (This is also used for List Template Current with Sub List Items):
<li><a href="#LINK#"><span style="background-color:yellow;">#TEXT#</span></a></li>List Template Noncurrent (and .... with Sub List Items):
<li><a href="#LINK#">#TEXT#</a></li>Sub List Template Current (and ... with Sub List Items):
<li><a href="#LINK#"><span style="background-color:pink;">#TEXT#</span></a></li>Sub List Template Noncurrent (and ... with Sub List Items):
<li><a href="#LINK#">#TEXT#</a></li>After List Entry:
</ul><br style="clear:both;"/><br style="clear:both;"/>
</div>These are the ones that I've updated - any others, just leave as their defaults. It's not pretty - but I've done this just to show that it can be done!
