We also would like to do this! Or have a way to get the person into the section of the finding aid that has the search term in it. Online Archive of California does this, I think. We have just developed a very hierarchical style sheet to display our finding aids - it's in the testing phase right now. While it's nice for browsing very large collections as it breaks up the amount of data your browser has to download on a single page, I am doubting the usefulness of this, since it actually makes it more difficult for someone looking for a specific term to browse the finding aid to locate the term. We still also have the long, complete version, and I can see myself using that more frequently than the new, improved, version. Jennie -- Jennie A.
