Hiding and revealing

I've investigated a bit how to have hidden lines of text (could be just
text or could be links) appear when clicking on a link in an HTML page.
Example describing what I'd like it to look like is at:
http://edmullen.net/temp/example.html

I'm perfectly willing to go read and research but I'd appreciate some
clues as to what I should look for (I've seen a variety of possibilities
after doing some Googling).

I would want to use strict HTML and CSS in whatever I finally do.

have a look at www.friars.co.nz,

If you like that system then I can provide you with some code.

You probably mean something similar to this site of mine:
http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/

It's that, and a bunch of PHP with IF statements in the menu script, and
group identifiers for each page in the PHP. I don't know of any other
way without using unreliable JavaScript, or including a complete,
separate HTML menu with each page.

Be gentle with my 20-at-a-time free-for-nonprofits web server...

Nicolas, thanks. After a quick look I know I will need to peruse this
more in depth. It's close to what I've got in mind (although, honestly,
what I have in mind is hardly fully formed!).

Ooo! Beemers! ;-) How could I not like this? :-D

Seriously, this is similar to what my very sketchy notion is about.
Thank you. I'll check it out soon and when I can focus on it. Much
appreciated.

What you describe there isn't about hiding, nor about HTML, nor about
CSS. It's about having different content on different pages. (Well, I
suppose it is about nested lists - in that sense it is about HTML.)

If you have a lot of things to stuff into a navigation menu, and if that
stuff is tree-like organised, this apporach can work very nicely. I've
used it at <http://www.voiceandvis ion.nl/> for instance.

That one is generated programmaticall y, but that's as irrelevant as
HTML/CSS are to this. You can do this by hand just as well.

Nothing special. Just plain HTML lists:

On the home page you have:

<UL>
<LI>home</LI>
<LI><A HREF="URL">shop </A></LI>
<LI><A HREF="URL">cont act</LI>
</UL>

On the shop page you might have:

<UL>
<LI><A HREF="URL">home </A></LI>
<LI>shop
<UL>
<LI><A HREF="URL">sock s</LI>
<LI><A HREF="URL">cand y</LI>
<LI><A HREF="URL">rice </LI>
</UL>
</LI>
<LI><A HREF="URL">cont act</LI>
</UL>

Etc.

Good.

Is that site possibly being served by a home computer? It is very slow.
There is over a third-megabyte of images on that one page, far too high
for a main page. On my fast 7Mbps cable connection, I would expect it
should load in a few seconds, but it took about two minutes.

Your images are also not the same size as the HTML height and width
attributes.

Your menu does work as you said, though.

Ok, have a look. Do you do any server-side scripting?

I have about 900k DSL and it pops right up for me (2-3 seconds).

Hmm. Now nine hours later and it is up to speed. Must have been a
problem with his host or a backbone somewhere last night.

Hi, first, python is one of my fav languages, and i'll definitely keep developing with it. But, there's 1 one thing what I -really- miss: data hiding. I know member vars are private when you prefix them with 2 underscores, but I hate prefixing my vars, I'd rather add a keyword before it. Python advertises himself as a full OOP language, but why does it miss one of the basic principles of OOP? Will it ever be added to python?
