Re: Navigating JSON sub-arrays dynamically

[Mike Wills <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are several methods of doing this. For MVC the standard seems to be
using jQuery and JSON. For the "standard" method, it can be done a few more
ways. In fact, I am sure there is a better way than I am doing this, but
this works and it is quite quick. When I get some time, I can put together
an example in MVC to see what I did. Real slick!
