Hello Scott, fantastic tutorial, thanks for writing it.

is there any way to hide by default all IDs of the Nav, rather than declare the individual IDs in the JS file?
hideByDefault: ‘categories,archives, etc, etc’,

regards,
andi

Hi Scott, Thanks for the tutorial, I’m using it to set up a menu for wordpress using the wp_list_pages, and I have changed the clickController to a, to make it work with this. The only problem is that when the page is reloaded if both lists are shut they open, or if only one is shut it reopens. I’m trying to understand how this works, and I think it may be because the lists also have links in them, is there a simple way to work around this?

Many thanks,

Caroline

Scott, great tutorial! One of the best I’ve found, hands down. I do have a question. While it seems the code works on every browser I’ve thrown at it, except one aspect in IE.

When a user has ‘Compatibility View’ mode on in IE it seems it places the “plus/minus” span on the next line below the tag.

Is there any work around to that? Thanks.

Scott, many thanks for your post. Really helped me with a rather simple version of your script.

Actually….sorry. I just have one question. Is there a way to make list items close as you click others? I am using this with multiple lists and they have gotten pretty long and it would be a little more user friendly if each list closed as another opened. I’ve tried to mess with it a little but to no avail. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the example. It was easy to implement and customize. I am however have a slight issue. One of my lists are getting hung open upon entering the site, even after deleting cookies. Any thoughts? Thanks.

hi. Thanks for writing this.. it is the closest I have found to help me figure out how to use the cookie plug-in but still I am a bit lost. I am trying to achieve much simpler functionality.. just have a message box that is on by default but if someone x’s out of it then it disappears (at least until cookies are cleaned). You have much greater functionality with the toggle but mine is just a one time deal so I know it will be much simpler code…having trouble whittling yours down… How would I create the closedItems cookie when someone uses a button with the .close class? If I had that then I guess all I would need is this snippet of your code : /remember closed/open state of nav items

Thanks for sharing and any help to get me moving along would be much appreciated.
