Dear Tarquin,
I have been happily using your "nested list collapsing script" for years, at
[URL] - thank you for providing this script.
Yesterday I installed the new Internet Explorer version 8, and found that
the page did not work in it. I eventually found that the problem was caused
by an unpaired tag in my own nested lists, which all other browsers
including IE7 had overlooked.
I mention this in case other users complain about this script not working
with IE8 - they may well have the same problem of unpaired tags on their own
pages.
Nick

Thanks for the info.
Indeed, it seems IE 8 responds differently to certain misnested tags,
including (which seems to be the case with your list) opening inline
elements like links inside a list item, then not closing them again. The
resulting DOM is more broken than it is in other browsers.
