Yes that is exactly what I was asking for in my suggestion here.

It would certainly be reasonably easy to implement in an HTML webpage so I can’t imagine it won’t be in WordPress.
It’s ultra easy to do in html so I’m hoping someone has implimented this for wordpress.
Have a look at my site – bottom of the menu.
If yes, it is detailed here:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/kadabra.txt
Thanks so much!
Just a quickie – where you say “In <head> I have this line:” do you mean the <head> of the index.php file?
i was thinking about doing this with my menus, but is there a simple way for subsequent pages to remember what’s expanded and what’s not?
Sorry I’ve got kinda stuck with this – I followed the instructions to the letter, I thought – and now my site is sticking at the @import point – http://www.craftnslace.net/wordpress.
I am uploading .txt versions of the problem files and hope you’ll be able to diagnose what is wrong from that as I know nothing about .php.
If necessary I’ll just live with the original version but I’d really like to have the onclick dropdown menus:)
I am using the Firefox web browser on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
I did create the directory for the kadabra.js file exactly as directed – http://www.craftsnlace.net/wordpress/T2/Hacks/kadabra.js if you need to review it at its location.
The .php file is at http://www.craftsnlace.net/index.txt
The CSS file is at http://www.craftsnlace.net/wp-layout.txt
Many thanks!
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php wp_layout(); ?> );
</style>
is wrong, you need something more like this:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-layout.css );
</style>
Yes that worked thank you – but the subcategories thing isn’t working, any idea why?
Also, the http://www.craftsnlace.net/wordpress isn’t displaying at all in Internet Explorer 6, just a blank screen – no error, nothing. It is however displaying in Firefox 1.0 and Netscape Navigator 7.1.
Is this a browser issue or is it something I’ve done wrong still?
I don’t know what you subcats ar so I can’t tell if they are there or not. I have 2 subcats though and they display so right now it’s hard to say.
I also see nothing in IE6, but I can’t get the page to validate – that might give the clue as to the reason. If you can change the characters it mentions:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.craftsnlace.net%2Fwordpress%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1&verbose=1
(It will just want the ascii equivalent, and pasting the offending character into this page:
http://www.inr.net/tools/html-encoder.cfm
will give you that)
and get things valid, it should be easy to find
OK yes all my subcategories are showing – if you scroll down http://www.craftsnlace.net/wordpress and look for where it says ? Categories (and I don’t know where the question mark came from!) with the dated diary entries listing, that is my Categories section. Everything above that is my Links.
Unfortunately though the page you mention tells me WHERE the errors are it doesn’t tell me WHAT they are – and as I don’t know PHP that doesn’t help me to resolve the problem I’m afraid.
Here is what I mean:-
113: #### encoding problem on this line, not shown ####
128: #### encoding problem on this line, not shown ####
149: #### encoding problem on this line, not shown ####
157: #### encoding problem on this line, not shown ####
164: #### encoding problem on this line, not shown ####
So I’m sorry I have no idea how to resolve this or what to do next.
I have by the way checked my source code at http://www.craftsnlace.net/wordpress and on those lines it’s trying to set up the kadabra coding so I still have no idea what to do next.
Go into your index.php and C&P the lines it’s coming up with as errors and paste them into the html encoder that Podz linked to above – what it spits out for you is what should be on the lines the validator can’t read.
OK I think I’ve figured out where things are wrong and I’m posting here in case someone else is having the same difficulty and hasn’t posted.
If you look at the index.php file in the Template section
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
<li id=”linkage”>� Site Linkage
<ul id=”m1″>
<?php wp_get_links(1); ?>
<li id=”categories”>� Categories
<ul id=”m2″>
<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
<li id=”archives”>� Archives
<ul id=”m3″>
<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>
where it says <a href=”#” I think that’s the problem. I need to replace the “#” with a url.’
Next question is how do I find the correct URL to use?
