here is a version that adds a + - sign besides the list. the only
problem is that it won't expand when i click on the + or - sign..
anyway to accomplish that?

thanks!

ul.mktree   li.liOpen ul { display: block; border-left:1px  }

ul.mktree   li.liBullet   .bullet { cursor: default; background:

/* Turn off list bullets */
ul.mktree   li { list-style: none; }
/* Provide space for our own "bullet" inside the LI */
ul.mktree  li           .bullet { padding-left: 15px;}
