I'm thinking you could simply store a bit-mask in the session where each bit represents the state of each menu item. For example if you had 5 collapsible menus and the second and fourth menu were open then store 01010 = 10 in session[:menu_state] = 10. Pass session[:menu_state] to your JavaScript on each request and use that to control your menu. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
