// HISTORY
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// December 9, 2003: Added script to the Javascript Toolbox
// December 10, 2003: Added the preProcessTrees variable to allow user
//      to turn off automatic conversion of UL's onLoad
// March 1, 2004: Changed it so if a <li> has a class already attached
//      to it, that class won't be erased when initialized. This allows
//      you to set the state of the tree when painting the page simply
//      by setting some <li>'s class name as being "liOpen" (see example)
