@Gaarmyvet The tables load uncollapsed then collapse because the script that collapses them loads after the tables load themselves. I guess you could add some CSS to force them to be collapsed on pageload, but it's not something I'd recommend. What happens if the tables are collapsed and the user doesn't have javascript enabled in their browser? Granted, there would be a lot of things broken elsewhere, but the tables would be collapsed and stay collapsed.
