Walter, Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, a good menuing system requires a lot more than just taking an existing accordian system and messing around with the CSS. You need the ability to easily disable/gray the entire menu struture and/or its individual elements along with many other functions.
DDAcordian based jquery is a pretty nice implementation of a good menuing system as it has a lot of features and functionality. I was looking for something similar for prototype without my having to reinvent the wheel. I ended up finding a dhtml solution using plain ol javascript that does 80% of what I want with no modifications and with a few mods I'm up to 90%. Enabling and disabling of the menu and nodes is all thats lacking. Again, thanks for your feedback!
