/***************************************************************************************
Nested list collapsing script written by Mark Wilton-Jones - 21/11/2003
Version 2.2.0 - this script takes existing HTML nested UL or OL lists, and collapses them
Updated 13/02/2004 to allow links in root of expanding branch
Updated 09/09/2004 to allow state to be saved
Updated 07/10/2004 to allow page address links to be highlighted
Updated 28/11/2004 to allow you to force expand/collapse links to use just the extraHTML
****************************************************************************************
Please see http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/ for details and a demo of this script
Please see http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/termsOfUse.html for terms of use
_________________________________________________________________________
You can put as many lists on the page as you like, each list may have a different format.
To use:
_________________________________________________________________________
Inbetween the tags, put:
_________________________________________________________________________
Define the HTML. Note that to correctly nest lists, child OLs or ULs should be children of an LI element,
not direct descendents of their parent OL/UL. The text used to expand the branch should be written
between the tag and the tag, and should only contain HTML that is permitted inside an 'A'
element. Note; Opera 7 will lose any style attributes you define in this text - use classes instead.
________________________________________________________________________
Now you need to trigger the collapsing, using tag. If using either onload technique, you must not use
any other scripts that rely on the onload event.
compactMenu(theRootID,shouldAutoCollapse,extraHTML[,useMinimalLink]);
oID = string: ID of root nest element, must be a UL or OL; this will not be collapsed, but any child
UL/OLs will be (note, if the root nest element is a UL, all child lists should be ULs - the same is
true for OLs; if the root nest element is OL, all child lists should be OLs)
shouldAutoCollapse = bool: auto-collapse unused branches
extraHTML = string: HTML to insert to collapsible branches - usually '± '
useMinimalLink = bool: normally the expand/collapse link will use both extraHTML and the original list
item text - if the list item text is already a link, this will not be included - set this option to
true to force the script to use only the extraHTML as the link, even if the rest of the list item is
not a link - this option will only be respected if you also provide some extraHTML
eg 1.
eg 2.
eg 3.
stateToFromStr(theRootID);
oID = string: ID of root nest element, must be a UL or OL; returns a string representing all expanding
branches - can be used with my cookie script to save state when unloading the page
stateToFromStr(theRootID,stringRepresentation);
oID = string: ID of root nest element, must be a UL or OL;
stringRepresentation = string: string representation of expanded branches, as created above
must be called _after_ collapsing the list - values can be recovered from cookies using my cookie script
note: this facility will not be able to take changes in the list structure into account - use session cookies
or short-term cookies to avoid longer term structure change problems
selfLink(theRootID,newClass,shouldExpandBranch);
theRootID = string: ID of root nest element, must be a UL or OL;
newClass = string: new class name to add to any existing class names
shouldExpandBranch = bool: expand branches to show the first matching link
allows you to highlight links to the current page that appear in the list
must be called _after_ collapsing the list
address hash and port are not included in the comparison - links containing href="#" are always ignored
