Ok, ive been working on this!!

Ive got all the tables set up correctly as

1. 

, its all  
good  
in that sense. However, my one thing im not quite sure how it was set up  
is  
when you click the expand/collapse button it does nothing, however the  
ID¹s  
are as they were in the tabled version so presumably its living in the  
JavaScript somewhere… That’s not a problem as im quite proficient with  
it  
but was wondering if someone could point me in the right place to look  
for  
it?

Also, im going to implement the drag and drop items 🙂

Cheers

Tim

In one sense it’s a list, and in the other sense it’s a table. But isn’t  
that true for almost all tables? Tables are also much, much easier to  
style for this kind of thing. It gets pretty messy when you try to do  
the same thing with floats.

That could be an issue. I haven’t done it myself so I wouldn’t know.

I like Ryan’s idea about that. I think it should be easy to rearrange  
pages. But agree that it would be nice to encourage redirects for  
published URLs.
