Thanks for pointing that out, it helped me find a big problem which was that I used the wrong build of JQuery to support using the caret to open/close the subtree. It should work now to open a subtree independently of clicking the heading, and should also close the tree. > I'll probably spend too much time researching how to widen the > razor-thin scrollbar in the TOC panel, since it seems to be > independent of the way I spent too much time fixing the browser's own > inadequate scrollbar width. :-) Also, the thumb's color is so close to > the surrounding color that it's really hard to see.

I’m not totally following all of this, but if I assume you mean the left sidebar navigation (and not an in-page TOC) then my answer to at least part of it is to pare down the list of top-level topics so you don’t have to scroll it at all and then the only scrolling you need to do is for the content itself. That’s what I want to do in Phase 2, so there are several things in the behavior of the sidebar I’m purposely ignoring for now. Some will go away with a new organization and new things will be introduced that will need to be fixed, so to save myself some time I’m waiting to fix all of it at once.
