Hi James, This might sound like a stupid idea - it's late and I haven't thought it through fully, but can't you hide it the relevant nodes by triggering something through onLoad on the body tag - that way if JS is disabled the page will load with the lists expanded rather than invisible.

Why does 'background-repeat:' determine the number of images to add? background-image: url(1), url(2), url(3); background-repeat: top, left, right, bottom; is equal to background-image: url(1), url(2), url(3), url(4); background-position: top, left, right, bottom; Would it not be better for it

My preference would be to clear floats through the CSS and not through adding in any additional markup. The code for this is below, so any two elements being floated to sit side by side should be put in a container with the class .clearfix. I use this approach purely because I view this as a pres
