This sounds like a solution... But can I set the ex:collapsed property

There's also an ex:collapsible attribute (I think) which gets set automatically of you use ex:collapsed; it produces an expand/collapse toggle that, presumably, is bound to javascript functions you could call programmatically.
Am I forced to initialize an Exhibit when the web page is loaded or is
there a possibility to intialize it later (i.e. by clicking a button)?
yes, there is a standard way to do this. You add autoCreate=false as a parameter in the exhibit-api.js script url. after that you can initialize exhibit programmatically (you can see this in http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/api/scripts/create.js):

    var fDone = function() {
        window.exhibit = Exhibit.create();
        window.exhibit.configureFromDOM();
    };
    window.database = Exhibit.Database.create();
    window.database.loadDataLinks(fDone);

It may not do everything you want but it is possible to set certain
facets to be collapsed---I think ex:collapsed=true/false is the proper
attribute.   As a side benefit, collapsed facets do not update when you
make other facet selections, so exhibit will be faster.

Hi,
I've just explored the possibilities of Exhibit and can't wait to try
Exhibit 3... One question though: how can I implement a "Meta-Facet"
that selectively shows/hides other facets? In my project I've
configured 10+ facets and my UI looks quite cluttered now.
The user should be able to turn on the facets he is interesting in, if
he turns off a facet with filtering enabled, this particular filter
should also be resetted.
BTW, are there any examples that control Exhibit via its Javascript
API instead of markup annotations? I really like the markup-driven
approach, but for more complex scenarios it feels a bit limited.
regards,
Franz
