Description:
People are saying that they hit "show", follow a link in that paragraph, then when they hit "back", the subcategory is hidden. Is there a way to use cookies or whatever to remember which subcategories were open?

Severity: enhancement

Sounds potentially problematic across platforms, but a good general principle of usability. Should be incorporated in a basic way, even if it doesn't work across devices and browsers.
The hash could be used here to maintain which categories are open.
e.g. if the hash was #Cat_1 Cat_2
this would mean category 1 and 2 (the div's with id cat_1 and cat_2) were open.
The browsers history would then take care of things when you hit back.
The current code does this but only supports one open category - taking the entire hash as the category element id.

A suggested implementation for maintaining state of open/closed sections that respect browser navigation
Note that this will not work on legacy browsers where the Array prototype does not support the indexOf function.
