How do you make those menu's in the sidebar collapsable? Looks very neat.

After trying every permutation of link and link text the Sidebar does not
perform as stated. What am I missing here?
Further down the page examples using Javascript and PHP. Are these my only
recourse?
Thanks,
John
An example might be helpful,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=edit
The centered language links are accomplished by this MediaWiki:Common.css:
#p-Google_translations.portlet li,
#p-Google_translations.portal li {
text-align: center;
}
#panel div#p-Google_translations div.body,
#mw-panel div#p-Google_translations div.body {
margin-left: 0px;
}

Thanks for pointing me to your site Fred. This looks very much like what I
am trying to do. Other than the code in Mediawiki:Common.js, is there
anything else I would need for a working prototype on my site?
Regards,
John

You can check the Special:Version page of a MediaWiki site,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Special:Version
to see what software is running.
In our case, we are just using the Vector skin with UsabilityInitiative
extension in MediaWiki 1.16.0
The MediaWiki:Sidebar content,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/MediaWiki:Sidebar
and MediaWiki:Common.css (the sections I extracted below),
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/MediaWiki:Common.css
and the Google Translate and other external or internal links are the only
customizations to our sidebar.
Best wishes,
--Fred

As suggested, went through the various components. It appears to be working,
more tests in the morning.
Will keep you posted.

Compared Special:Version pages, removed other extensions that could possibly
conflict, verified Vector, checked Mediawiki:Sidebar and still no
collapsing. Looking at the code with Firebug, the functions all load and
run. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Oh sorry, I forgot about the collapsing feature.
You may need also some MediaWiki:Common.js,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/MediaWiki:Common.js
or, its good to take from the source,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js
But I'm not certain at the moment.
I would feel better if this discussion were on-list, so others could
contribute and benefit.
Any objections to forward all back to the original thread?
