^ both the same. Well, almost. You can define a basic style for the
non-javaScript version. JS adds a special class to the list to allow
for a style that only gets applied when JS is available.

that way you can style

#nav { } /* non - JavaScript */
#nav.panel { } /* JavaScript */

The script still hides and shows the sub-sections as I write directly
to the DOM style attribute instead of applying a class.

Good. Next geek dinner come around again and you get a drink on me. Or
