Expanding lists with a [+]

I'd like to be able to have a little [+] next to a short paragraph, which,
when pressed, expands the text, and of course changes the [+] to a [-]. Can
EW do this? If not, anyone have any ideas?

TIA

Mart


 


with layers and behaviors you could cobble something like this together.
Expression Web has a layers and behaviors feature that appears very
superficial at first but by using combinations of behaviors you can do some
pretty cool stuff.
I have some lists similar to what you're talking about here:

but I used a JavaScript snippet from here:

EW can create this via the ASP.Net tree view control. If you don't want to
use ASP.Net you'll need to use JavaScript (which is what the ASP.Net control
uses anyway) and there are lots of show-hide scripts of this type on the
net. I have one without the + - symbols (just links) at

Thanks Ian and Chris. I googd "simple show hide" and found exactly what I
needed.
