I have to display a complex hierarchy. The best way I have found to do this is to have two panels side by side. The right panel would have the Tree view and the left would have the Table that would list the items in the currently selected Tree Node (Kind of like windows explorer.) I have two, rather weighted questions.

1) Is this the best way to display complex, hierarchical information, or is there a slicker way to display this sort of data? (basically have files in different levels and those file have to quickly display a lot of information)

2)Sticking with the Tree and Table views, is there a way to have the Treeview pass data to the table in a graceful way? Are there any plugins that would take care of this
