Nice site, btw. Your current setup can possibly be created with a
GMENU_LAYERS altough I am no expert on this hiding/unhiding with JS
topic. You could also try with a simple, expanded list-like menu that is
then treated with some CSS and JS, as seen here
(http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/).

Hm, I'm probably dumb but I would have thought expAll does just what you
described. Where exactly is the problem?

I'm not sure how that would help but option split or some Joey-style TS
hacks might help.
