Hi again,

Thanks for the examples, and I'm sorry to have stirred up something here. (grin)

I think the reason the developer went with this accordion menu was because the customer (my organization) wanted a less cluttered page. So the extra info wouldn't be displayed until one of the main menu items was selected. But I would think that there are so many other simpler ways of achieving this. I'd almost rather see a separate HTML page for each section than a huge script-heavy page that expands all its menus on that same page.. That's just my opinion as a user, but I may well be behind the times on that.
