treenodes not expanding when selectednodechanged event defined

Hi - I'm using a treeview control in a sharepoint webpart. It is populating ok and the nodes are expandable normally but when I add a TreeNodeExpanded event handler to the treeview, nodes after a depth of two stop expanding. Am I doing something wrong?
When I'm debugging, the treenodexpanded event handler executes regardless of whether the node expands or not.

I believe it has something to do with the way I am populating the tree view. I attach the relevant code.

       /// <summary>
        /// PopulateTreeView is a recursive function, starting at the supplied SPWeb parameter it will extract all relevant information from the site before recursing for each sub site.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="web">web is the starting SPWeb (SharePoint web site) for the function.  In this case the current site i.e. the site on which the web part is placed.</param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        /// copied from http://www.sharepointblogs.com/andynoon/archive/2008/03/20/everyone-wants-one.aspx
        public TreeNode PopulateTreeView(SPWeb web)
        {
            TreeNode top = null;
            if (web != null)
            {
                //get detail of this current web
                if(showLinks ) top = new TreeNode("Site Details(" + web.Title + ")", "0", "/_layouts/images/SPHOMESM.GIF", web.Url, "_blank");
                else top = new TreeNode("Site Details(" + web.Title + ")", "0", "/_layouts/images/SPHOMESM.GIF");
                TreeNode node;
                if(showLinks) 
                {
                    node = new TreeNode(web.Title, "root", "/_layouts/images/ICHTT.GIF", web.Url, "_blank");

I've found part of the problem. When I comment out the event handler I get javascript:Treeview_togglenode(... appearing in the status bar of ie when the expand/contract (+/-) sign is rolled over and everything works. When I uncomment the eventhandler and roll over the +/- sign I get javascript:doPostBack(........,'\t0\\root\\') where the dots are the control reference. Why does this happen?
