$(function(){
$('.header-level').click(function(){
$(this).next('.sub-level').find('table').toggle();
});
});
A nested table that appears on clicking the related row.
The top level rows contain, say, an order. The nested table that relates to this will contain a detailed breakdown of what is included in the order. Related rows are wrapped in seperate tbodys in the hope that this will be kosher for screen readers/accessibility.
