Carlos,

I'm good thanks.

The first argument of the sub constructor will accept any valid string,
including one containing HTML, for example:

myList.sub[0] = new sub('<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>',true);
myList.sub[1] = new sub('Back to <a href="./">home</a>',true);
myList.sub[2] = new sub('<img src="myImage.gif">',true);

just be careful how you use quotes and \ characters (single quotes ' should
be escaped \' before use etc.)


Hope this helps

PS. You can also use the script on a commercial site (one that makes money,
or one that is for a commercial company). If you do, there are a couple of
conditions:

1) You must put a note (for example, on a site policy page) saying that the
script was provided for free by http://www.howtocreate.co.uk - so if you
charge customers money to use the site, you are only charging them for the
content you provide, not for the scripts that I provide

2) You put a plain text link to my site, to help me with my search engine
rankings

Collapsible list script provided for free by
<a href="http://www.howtocreate.co.uk">
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk</a>.
Customers are not charged for use of this script.

Hmm, that looks smart!

No, mine does not do that yet, BUT, it will do in the next few hours (I
will send you a copy when it is complete), because I am going to program
that now.

The only limitation is that you will not be able to have any lists expanded
when you start, so it will work like the Netscape one. How does that sound?

Ok, I have attached the script. I have tested it as much as I can (I only
finished it about 5 minutes ago!), so please let me know if you find any
bugs :)

I will upload the new version to my site on Monday.

The HTML test file is just the normal demo page, but with ',true' added
to the end of the list definition.

I have attached a zip file with all of the examples.
Unzip all files then open 'index.html'.
Try the 'auto-collapse' examples.

Carlos,

I have updated the script again, so that it will also allow class styling.
check out:
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/listpics/showsample.html?13
for an example of both styling and auto-collapse, like the one on the Netscape site

or see all of my themes:

You can download the new script at

Hope you find this useful

Carlos,

Thanks for testing the script.

I think you misunderstood my terms and conditions page. I will rewrite it
to make it more easy to understand.

You only need to obtain my express written permission if you are
downloading my script to use on a script archive site, like
http://www.dynamicdrive.com 
http://www.scriptsearch.com/JavaScript/Scripts/ 

You are using it for a corporate site, so you do not need written
permission.

Also, you do not need to put a link on _every_ page the script is on. Just
once - on the site policy page. Most corporate intranet sites have a policy
page. For example, on
http://www.yahoo.com/ 
there is a link at the bottom of the page:
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/copyright/copyright.html 
this is their site policy page. All you would need to do is put a link in
your policy page.

Or the 'New York Emergency Room' policy page. Do you not have something
like this?
http://www.nyerrn.com/admin/reg/index.htm

If you do not use a policy page like this, then we will need to discuss
what to do, but I would prefer you to put a link on the policy page,
because it makes licensing much more easy.
