Problem with Bullet List Accordion Menu script

[Savvannis]

1) Script Title: Bullet List Accordion Menu with nested levels

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...enu-bullet.htm

3) Describe problem:

Website address working on: http://houston-by-night.com/login.php

The 1st level expand/hide works wonderfully, however I cannot get the nested level to expand/hide, they are all just listed like a regular menu. On this page, the nested level is under the menu "Venues", each venue's menu is supposed to be accordion as well and they just ALL show as open.

I have tried in IE, Chrome and Firefox, but have not installed Opera or Safari on my system to try those, and it doesn't work in any browser.

I was also wondering, if I can get the 2nd level accordion to work, is it possible to add a third and subsequent levels?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm pulling my hair out over here.

There is error with your nested menu items' markup in that they are not properly nested:

  <h3 class="menuheader expandable">Venues</h3>
  <ul class="categoryitems">
    <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#" class="subexpand"></a><img src="http://houston-by-night.com/imgs/MortalBar.jpg" /></li>
    <ul class="subcatitem" style="margin-left: 15px">
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Creation Rules</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Gangs</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Police</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Medical</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Media</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Setting</a></li>
    </ul>

The nested UL should be wrapped inside the parent LI element (in red), so something like:

  <h3 class="menuheader expandable">Venues</h3>
  <ul class="categoryitems">
    <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#" class="subexpand"></a><img src="http://houston-by-night.com/imgs/MortalBar.jpg" />
    <ul class="subcatitem" style="margin-left: 15px">
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Creation Rules</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Gangs</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Police</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Medical</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Media</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Setting</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>

Repeat this for all of your other nested ULs as well.

Done... Still not working...

I even moved the </a> to the end, after the image, so the image was linked... didn't work...

Next idea?

Ah ok I spot another problem, the name of your sub menu contents' class name in red:

<h3 class="menuheader expandable">Venues</h3>
  <ul class="categoryitems">
    <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#" class="subexpand"></a><img src="http://houston-by-night.com/imgs/MortalBar.jpg" />
    <ul class="subcatitem" style="margin-left: 15px">
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Creation Rules</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Gangs</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Police</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Medical</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Media</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Setting</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>

It should be "subcatitems", or the name you specified in the initialization code.

Ok, so adding another level should be as easy as just making sure the level is in the

<script type="text/javascript">
ddaccordion.init({ //top level headers initialization
headerclass: "expandable", //Shared CSS class name of headers group that are expandable
contentclass: "categoryitems", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
revealtype: "click", //Reveal content when user clicks or onmouseover the header? Valid value: "click", "clickgo", or "mouseover"

portion of the page as

<script type="text/javascript">
ddaccordion.init({ //top level headers initialization
headerclass: "newuniqidentifier", //Shared CSS class name of headers group that are expandable
contentclass: "newuniqueidentifiersub", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
revealtype: "click", //Reveal content when user clicks or onmouseover the header? Valid value: "click", "clickgo", or "mouseover"

for each level that I need to add, then make sure the

<h3 class="menuheader expandable">Venues</h3>
<ul class="categoryitems">
<li><img src="http://houston-by-night.com/imgs/MortalBar.jpg" class="subexpand" />
<ul class="subcatitems" style="margin-left: 15px">
<li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#">Creation Rules</a></li>
<li><a href="http://houston-by-night.com/venues/#" class="newuniqueidentifier">Setting</a>
<ul class="newuniqueidentifiersub">
<li><a href="link and stuff">link</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>

all match... right? Did that make sense to you? It does to me... Crazy brain.
