[Wikia-l] Please tell me a good tip to make a dynamic menu on sidebar

[DanTMan]

Erm... found an issue...
TreeView isn't actually loaded.
Could you poke one of the techs to get [ 
http://images.wikia.com/common/skins/common/yui/treeview/treeview-min.js 
] to be loaded with allinone.js?

BTW... While that's added... There are one or two more I could use:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/button/ : The Button appears to be 
something far more viable to use for JS created forms and stuff than 
normal input buttons do. It would vastly simplify creating scrips for 
users, and help with adding new features.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/animation/ : Animation is part of YUI's 
basic functions. I'm kinda surprised that it hasn't been added. There 
are a number of things I could use it to do.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/get/ : Ok, I know it's beta... But users 
all over Wikia are using various methods of attempting to load new JS 
and CSS pages. But most of them are either badly built, or don't work 
good in some browsers. Using the one inside of YUI would eliminate both 
of those and possibly give a better way for us to load our JS scripts.
