I have a long list of items for example + item 1 -- sub item 1 -- sub item 23
+ item 45 -- sub item 142 +item 995 -- sub item 198 -- sub item 244 As you can see the ids are in no particular order. I'm looking for the most efficient way of expanding the top level ones. Also I would like all the items to be editable by their respective owners. <b> It's essentially a threaded comment system that is collapsed by default.</ b> Right now I have them in a foreach loop that is generated when the page is called but I'm guessing there is a faster way to do this. I look forward to your ideas. Drew
