I've been using Travis's Expanding Menu for a site i'm working on. The problem is I need to add some functionality to it.

I need the the ability to define a subsection to be open when you land on a page, but when you select another option for it to open that section and close the previously open one.

I though i'd got round this by adding a class to the nested ol and setting it to display: inline; in the CSS, but unfortunatly, because the CSS forces the nested section open it remains open when you click another section.

Any javascript experts out there fancy helping me out? Code posted below...


// Node Functions

if(!window.Node){
var Node = {ELEMENT_NODE : 1, TEXT_NODE : 3};
}
function checkNode(node, filter){
return (filter == null || node.nodeType == Node[filter] || node.nodeName.toUpperCase() == filter.toUpperCase());
}
function getChildren(node, filter){
var result = new Array();
var children = node.childNodes;
for(var i = 0; i < children.length; i++){
if(checkNode(children[i], filter)) result[result.length] = children[i];
}
return result;
}
function getChildrenByElement(node){
return getChildren(node, "ELEMENT_NODE");
}
function getFirstChild(node, filter){
var child;
var children = node.childNodes;
for(var i = 0; i < children.length; i++){
child = children[i];
if(checkNode(child, filter)) return child;
}
return null;
