Hi all,

Have used the code from Zeldman, and it shows content on a toggle kind of system.

Well thats good, but I am creating a help system for my application and I want to have help topics in the left panel, and when I click on a topic it shows the information in the right panel.

With me so far?

What I want is it to toggle any content that is not needed to display none, when a different topic is clicked.

Is this possible?

[Stickman]

Yes, it is.

[NickToye]

Care to offer me a solution.

[Stickman]

Do you mean do it for you? No thanks.

Try "javascript show hide" in google.

[NickToye]

Sorry I thought this forum was for peers to help eachother, otherwise what is its purpose, surely...

[Stickman]

Fuck me, you're lazy.

Help each other isn't the same as posting up what you want and scratching your arse while waiting for some mug to do it for you - for free.

[NickToye]

I haven't done nothing of the sort. I have posted a question and asked if anyone can help me, and not be abused. Don't bother replying.

[Stickman]

But I've written the script now. Oh well.

[stickmus]

He's clever that NickToye, note the use of a double negative in his last comment 'I haven't done nothing'.

[NickToye]

Look people, if I have made a gramma error, i'm sorry, but doesn't mean you are not clever, so don't judge me.

All I did was come onto a site where I actually believe there is a good community. I never came on and said do this and I want this, and I want it now. I am learning DOM, and in particular show/hide content. I see this site as a good source of help. All I have got was a negative response and a go and find it on Google.

Well if I have been on Google but I never found exactly what I was looking for, that's why I came back to this forum.

I have never once insulted anyone, and Stickmus has just come on and made a comment that is insulting to me.

[stickmus]

Haha, it was a joke, calm down dear.

Try writing a hide all function, then run that before you show the specific one.

getElementById and getElementsByTagName should be the key here. And if you're using firefox, I always find the DOM inspector ctrl+shift+i to be of great help when developing javascript stuff.

[NickToye]

Not a problem Stickmus, its Monday afterall, and the diazipan is only just kicking in. Well I think I have got some code that works.

PHP Code:

function toggle(div)
 {
 if (document.getElementById('intro') && !document.getElementById('allinfo'))
 {
 var option=['intro','cms','three'];
 for(var i=0; i<option.length; i++) 
 { obj=document.getElementById(option[i]);
 obj.style.display=(option[i]==div)? "block" : "none"; }
 }
 } 


It seems to work ok, I would have to add numerous options to the var, but I think I understand it.

Is this in reference to Stickman? Gramma error? Freudian slip?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[NickToye]

lol

[nakedintruder]

I can't see anything 'NickToye' could have said to get laid into like that :/

Looks like he just wanted pointing in the right direction rather than it done for him, just like most other posts on a des/dev forum.

you cock.
