I am trying to have an expandable menu each time it's clicked expands, and
if it's clicked again, if it is already expanded contracts, and if
contracted expands, following this example
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/navigate1.htm, I notice the
example works in each sub folder and folder, it contracts and expands if
it
is already contracted/expanded, what do I add to this: <a
href="javascript:ddtreemenu.flatten('treemenu1serv ices', 'expand') ?
ddtreemenu.flatten('treemenu1services', 'contact')" to cause the same
effect?
The javascript in simpletreemenu is:
var persisteduls=new Object()
var ddtreemenu=new Object()
ddtreemenu.closefolder="/includes/closed.gif" //set image path to "closed"
folder image
ddtreemenu.openfolder="/includes/open.gif" //set image path to "open" folder
image
//////////No need to edit beyond here///////////////////////////

var durationdays=(typeof persistdays=="undefined")? 1 :
