I really need a rock-solid expand-collapse display that I can integrate with Scripting News.
If you're reading this in RSS, flip over to the home page and have a look. See how the pluses and minuses work? There are a bunch of problems:
1. Doesn't work in Opera. Deal-stopper. Opera users are cool folk.
2. I don't like the indentation. I want the text flush-left.
3. Takes too long to display. I want it to be instantaneous.
4. Must be multi-level. I haven't tested the code I'm using with more than two levels.
I know it can be much better, because I see it done better in lots of places.
Looking for help from people who know their Javascript. Me, I'm into other things (obviously).
Mock up a Scripting News home page with your code, and post a pointer, and we'll test it out. When it's done, everyone will be able to use it.
BTW, I know there are people from the Radio community that have stuff in this area, I just don't know how well supported the stuff is these days. It's been a while.

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
