[bktnp]

I would like to know how does the collapsing and expanding of menu in catagories box is happening. I would like to learn it and understand it. Please do help me.

The code in the index.php file has three sections: categories, products and home page. The categories section starts with the line

if ($category_depth == 'nested') {

If you go farther down the page you will see the else parts of that statment that is for the other sections. Intially, when you display your site, the home section is accessed. When a category is clicked, the category section is accessed. It reads in the appropriate data from the database and displays the categories.

Actually, if you take a look at the categories box that should give a better indication of how the menu is collapsed (and expanded). Keep in mind that osC uses a top down approach to constructing the menu.
