Hello again,
my dymamic drive slashdot menu is working, but when a browser opens it for the first time, it displays expanded. Do you know how to set it to display collapsed when a browser first opens the page?
Many thanks,
Matt

Try the following:

var myMenu;
window.onload = function() {
myMenu = new SDMenu("my_menu");
myMenu.init();

myMenu.collapseAll();
};

Dear stbuchok,
This works fine, but one of the best features of this menu is that it "persists menu states" that is, it keeps it's form as you move from page to page. So can I alter it so that it keeps it's form once you start using it, but opens just the first time collapsed?
Thanks,

I need to write a script that collapses the menu

myMenu.collapseAll();

when it doesn't find a particular variable, then write a cookie that deposits that variable after the first time a page on the site has been visited. Right?

That will work.
