walking the DOM

[Jeff Thies]

I'm unsure of an efficient way of doing this.

I have nested lists that I want to collapse/expand:

<ul>
<li>find following nested list (ul) by using a reference to this node
<ul>
<li>...

Doing this by looking through childNodes seems crazy. Isn't there a way to
find the next node? A better way?

Why does it seem crazy?

By the way, if you're looking to turn <ul> lists into expandable/collapsable
trees, you can use and/or look at my code which does exactly this:

You're right. It wasn't that hard.

Pretty cool!

What's the scrollIntoView do?

My funky version (30 lines):

Forgot how to change background images.

Cheers,
