The default skin expands sub-categories on-click, a useful thing when you have
a lot of sub-categories. The way it is doing it is through the css stylesheet
but it does it in a bit cryptic way through inherited properties.
After hours of experimenting with the stylesheet I decided to alter the
code a bit and finally go to bed!

Here is what I did, I hope you find it useful:
go to directory
catalog/view/theme/*skin_name*/template/module
and edit
category.tpl
and find near line 13
Code: Select all
<?php if ($category['children']) { ?>
Code: Select all
<?php if ($category['children'] && $category['category_id'] == $category_id) { ?>
Happy coding!!
