Description: A
folding menu tree that contains links and sublinks. Click on the folder
icon to expand it. Browsers apart from IE 4.x will see the tree fully
expanded (degrades well). The menu supports arbitrary nesting of
sub-lists, and uses session cookies to give it persistance. In the
past, whenever you opened a folder and clicked a link inside, when you
returned, the folder reverts back to its initial, closed state. What a
waste of time of having to reopen the folder(s) each time you return to
view the links inside. Using cookies, this "smart" folder script will
actually remember the state of the folder tree when you navigate to
another page, so when you come back, it will look just the way you had
remembered it to be. If you can't appreciate this feature, you can bet
your surfers will!
Note: This persistance feature is
only visible in, obviously, cookie enabled IE 4
browsers.
Demo: (try opening folders, navigate away, and return...the folders will still be open!)
