silhouette3.JPG From the desk of Jane Galt:

Okay, so . . .

I've given up on a category cloud. I didn't really want one, anyway; what I wanted was something that took up less space than the current list on the sidebar. What I'd really like to do is collapse my category archive to the top level hierarchy, and have it expand when the reader mouses over it. Anyone out there know of an easy way to do this?

I promise, this is the end of the MT questions. And if you're getting annoyed, please remember . . . I'm doing it all for you.

You can easily expand/collapse blocks of HTML with just a few lines of javascript. Need a hand?

If you add the following to your style sheet it should work for FireFox at least and no ugly JavaScript!

.side ul.module-list ul.module-list {
display: none;
}

.side ul.module-list li.module-list-item:hover ul.module-list {
display : block;
}

Note: I don't have Internet Explorer so I haven't tested using it. Though if I remember rightly Internet Explorer has issues with applying :hover to anything other than a link. If I come up with a more cross-browser compatible solution I'll post it here.
