RE: Passing in a node value

Ok, I didn't read that carefully.  So you use a parameter with a name 
like root_item_sub_item1_sub_sub_item1 and then select for when that 
parameter is set and matches the node id, right?  So I need as many 
parameters as nodes.  That seems messy to me.  I'd rather set 
the node 
value somehow.  I'm getting the idea this is not possible.


Assuming that the work would be done at the server, you could create a
second xml file that contains a list of the nodes to expand, and use
document() to give the stylesheet access to it.  Whenever a node is
identified as one from the list, the stylesheet indicates it should be
expanded.  You could use a key to make this quick and easy.

Another approach is to expand the menus using javascript, and use the
list of nodes to write a bit of javascript to do it.  You could pass the
nodes for expansion as a javascript array or associative array.

Cheers,
