The script is below the problem description and simply represents a simplified version to illustrate the problem which I have not been able to solve. I have spent ours on Google without tracking down the issue. It's menu script where I am using html/css dom to access the attributes. I want to change the display attribute on child elements from 'none' to 'block' and the other way round when the parent node is clicked. That is the basics but I want to refine that after this problem gets solved, if it solvable. The interesting and very annoying thing is that it works fine when applying the 'block' attribute to the child nodes of the first parent 'a-1' which shows and hides the child nodes fine. When I click the 'b-1' node that works too BUT then the function exits and is called again from somewhere. The alert('Exiting Function'); is there to show what's happening. The function does terminate and then is called again as you will see. I thought it might be the 'onclick' calls in the sibling elements but when I take them out it still happens. So, any hints as to what's going on are appreciated. This is definitely out of my league.
