Collapsable Lists
(Category: Weblog Stuff )

I've had a couple people interested in the collapsable lists that I use for my sidebar links so I've gone ahead and prepared some easy to use files that will help anybody to implement the same. These can also be used inside posts. Just right click on this link and save the zip file to your PC. Inside are 4 text files. Read the one called instruct.txt and it will guide you through setting up your blog to use collapsable lists.

Note that the instructions are tailored to an MT blog with the MuNu setup. I don't know how differently other blogs function but some tweaking may be necessary.

Also, credit where credit is due: This is a script implementation I got from Microsoft FrontPage.

UPDATE: As MojoMark reminded me in the comments, these collapsable lists will not work for Mozilla. At least not up to version 1.4. Future versions? Who knows. The good news is they fail in an uncollapsed format so the worst that will happen is that they show up expanded, even on Mozilla.

UPDATE2: Just encountered this helping Simon get his lists set up. When you create the outline.js script file you must also build it. After you save it there will be a "rebuild" link (or button) underneath the "body" field. Click on that.

Cool, but can you advise on that site meter thing? I added the site meter code that I use on my main template to all of my archive templates, but now the total seems to be frozen, which does not compute, since some comments have been added.

Help me, Jimbo-One-Kinobi! I need your help!

If you want Sitemeter to track hits to comment pages too you'll need to add that code to the Comment Listing Template (under Miscellaneous Templates). You've also got to do a site rebuild for these changes. And make sure you're putting the code within the [body] tags.

I think that's all. Ain't this stuff wunnerful fun? ;)

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but the collapsable lists don't work in Mozilla 1.4. They simply show as unordered lists down the page....

Jim, thanks for all your help. If Pixy is the Emperor, you are Darth Vader.
