TreeAndMenu extension
I've needed to create parser-functions a number of times which allow the rendering of dynamic menu's. Each time I've created a specific extension for the job and have used code from TreeView to achieve it, so finally I bit the bullet and merged the best JavaScript dynamic menu I've found (Sons of Suckerfish) into the TreeView code base, and renamed the extension from TreeView5 to TreeAndMenu.
The TreeAndMenu extension allows bullet lists to be rendered as folder trees or dynamic drop-down menu's. It has been tested successfully on MediaWiki versions 1.6.10, 1.8.4, 1.9.3, 1.10.2, 1.11.0 and 1.12.0. And is known to work on Safari, IE6, IE7 and all Mozilla based browsers such as Firefox and SeaMonkey.
