expanding menus

[shetlandbob]

Hi,

I have a web page with frames, in my "left" frame I have effectively a contents page which can be used to load up details in the right frame (like msdn.microsoft help pages).

The left has the following
------------------------------------------------------------
Heading1
Heading1.1
Heading1.2
Heading1.3
Heading2
Heading2.1
Heading2.1.1
Heading2.1.2
Heading2.2
Heading3
Heading4
------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a way to have my sub headings so that the user can expand and hide them

i.e.

Heading1 (+) button to click on?
Heading2 (+) button to click on?
Heading3
Heading4

Is this possible in HTML or do i need to learn some java??

Any help as always much appreciated.

It's not possible with just HTML, and I wouldn't advise using Java (a bit OTT for this task). Consider using JavaScript or VBScript - visit the forums for the one you are most comfortable using.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Yes, this CAN be done with just HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of Javascript (for MSIE).

Oh give me a break. "HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of Javascript" does not constitute HTML only - no matter how you dress it up.
