I am designing an "inventory inquiry". The user will want to drill down to find their inventory.
Something like they search for a customer and style, then results would be displayed like this:
Style/Color/Size/Season/Model/Aux1/Aux2/Building/Location. Should that be a classic tree view or something else?

Re: Modern way to drill down on Web?
Hi Art,
I think it depends on your targeted device.
For example an on mobile site I think a drill down via "window" is appropriate. Where each "window" has buttons to move up or down the hierarchy.
On more desktop / workstation devices a tabular tree may be best.
If all elements have the same attributes you may be able to use a List and assign parent nodes.
If the number if children is know ahead of time an accordion may work where each "level" in the accordion represents either a selected item detail or a list of children.
Good Luck! Let us know how it comes out.
