Re: Number of clicks with new Admin menu

I agree with Michael that it takes too long to navigate the Navigation 
menu. I'd love to see some *optional* DHTML on the Navigation menu in 
order to reduce the number of clicks. Anyone up for that? I think the 
way to do it initially is to create a second Navigation block. The Admin 
will enable the new block and disable our existing Navigation block. I 
think the old Sitemap page, which outputted a ful <ul> list of all menu 
entries, should be the basis for the DHTML tree.
