Re: [WSG] javascript errors still
Hi Marvin I haven't had a chance to go through your code properly yet, but glancing through it, I'll suggest that the jQuery http://jquery.com javascript library could help in making your code a great deal more simple, and less likely to have bugs. Also, Steven - why would a web-server be required, considering all he's dealing with is HTML and CSS? or am I missing something? - Josh On 4/8/2010 2:38 PM, Steven Tan wrote: Hi Marvin, As for your pasted code, unfortunately it's very difficult to debug without actually running the application and see how the error occurs. What you can do maybe is to try the IE8 Developer tools (I haven't used it much), and see if the error happens on a certain line number, then copy and paste the function where the line occurs and also any relating functions into here. There are a number of reasons that could have broke IE with Object expected. It usually means IE is looking for a function and it's not there. You might be able to see which line the error is pointing to, that will give you a good start for the debugging. One more thing, also make sure the application you are running is from a web server (a local IIS), and not from your local file system. Hope this helps.

Re: [WSG] CSS Expandable Menu
If you're talking about a tree-like menu, I've never come across a purely CSS one. It strikes me that CSS alone doesn't have the vocabulary to deal with something that requires an 'expanded' and 'collapsed' state. If you're worried about accessibility, either * expand it all by default, and use JavaScript to collapse and expand it or * do a page-reload if there's simply too much content to have it all expanded at once. (And then disable that if a user has JS turned on). This kind of thing is very easily accomplishable with something like jQuery, and you can generally work through or around any accessibility concerns. - Josh -- www.oxideinteractive.com.au On 29/6/2010 9:30 AM, grant_malcolm_bai...@westnet.com.au wrote: Hello, I would be grateful if someone could clarify whether there is such a thing as a pure CSS expandable menu. The sort of thing I'm looking for is the expandable / collapsible hierachy commonly shown in the left-hand frame of Windows programs such as Explorer or Outlook.
