I thought about trying that, but wouldn't it fail for nested lists?
a
b
c
ci
cii
ciii
civ
d
e
If the user clicks "c" then it will first set the outer list to
display: none; and then set the inner list to display: block;, however
as the inner list is inside the outer list neither will be displayed.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
