Tried it and same exact look...all the text below gets squished over to the left in the table same as before...gotta love the cross platform inconsistencies MS builds into their products.
Is it the javascript or the style sheet that is likely kicking the text over?
The CSS embeded in the javascript. It appears that IE MAC is interpreting the display property differently to IE WIN/UNIX and NS6/Moz/Konq . Is this version of IE5.0 or IE5.1? As the only solution appears to be reformating each cell using even more javascript or disabling the collapse function in IE5 MAC.
Oh well there is always undocumented features to play with is this any better?
I added this hack and I didn't have any problems with the install, but it doesn't show any + or - signs next to the forum catagory name. Do I need to enable something?

Did you upload the gif images? Where did you upload them to? Make sure they are in the right place and they should come up.
I'm looking to do an expand and contract on my site. I run this hack already, where woul I find the code for a non php site to expand and contract? If it has to be php that's fine but I want it so when users click the icon or title the icon changes and a link list appears below the link/icon. Does anyone know where I could find such code?
