There are some basic settings to adjust for this in the admin options panel (the ID of the sidebar div, widget CSS class names, etc.), which are hopefully enough to get things working for you.

Nice plugin there, but it's not working right with my theme. Help! =P It works nice up to the point where it creates the a node, but after that it doesn't add the text node that should display the [+] link. In the default theme it works fine, so I don't know where's the flaw. Thanks! Hi. Nice plugin there, but it’s not working right with my theme. Help! =P

And the categories did not expand. I really really would like this to work, I have unsophisticated visitors who need to see the expanded lists. Hope you can help. Didn’t work for me :(

It would be cooler still if it was possible to set the default state to "collapsed", as others have mentioned previously. For those enterprising (read: knowing just enough to be dangerous) users who don't mind tinkering with the code, lines 33-38 of the .js file are worth a look. I basically flipped some simple values and names around and got the default state to be collapsed. <code>var storedValue = SideBarWidgetGetCookie(sidebarItems[i].id); if(storedValue=='Y') { ShowSidebarWidget(sidebarItems[i].id); } else { HideSidebarWidget(sidebarItems[i].id); }</code> Thanks for this plugin.

var storedValue = SideBarWidgetGetCookie(sidebarItems[i].id);
if(storedValue==’Y') {
ShowSidebarWidget(sidebarItems[i].id);
}
else {
HideSidebarWidget(sidebarItems[i].id);

Everything else (as far as appearance goes) would be set in your theme's CSS file.

I could be wrong about that though, so let me know if anyone finds out. I think that might be a browser specific behavior that can’t be changed in a standard way with CSS.
