Any ideas?

Dan: Yes, a few of them. 1. Use LIMIT in your MySQL query to get the number of records provided down to a manageable size. 2. Use pagination to keep the page size to a manageable size. Here's an example: http://php1.net/b/pagination-images/ Here's an example with code and it has an example of using LIMIT with offsets: http://webbytedd.com/bbb/paging/ 3. Then use a toggle for showing small/large amount of information. http://webbytedd.com/cc/toggle/ I often use this for showing clients lot's of data without having to show all of it at one time. Here's another example: http://sperling.com/quarters/ Note how "The rules" and "How to win" are shown. As to showing the user one item expanded and all the rest collapsed, I leave that to you, but my hint is redefining the css display rule (display: block) on the initial load of the page.
