Hiding and Displaying DIV help

Recommended Posts

Here's my code:

<style type="text/css"> 
#site_admin, #user_admin, #news_man 
{ 
display: none; 
} 
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle(thediv) {
    document.getElementById("site_admin").style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById("user_admin").style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById("news_man").style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById(thediv).style.display = "block";
}
</script>
<a href="" onClick="toggle('site_admin');" />Site Administration</a> | <a href="" onClick="toggle('user_admin');" />User Administration</a> | <a href="" onClick="toggle('news_man');" />News Manager</a>
<input type="radio" name="toggledivs" onclick="toggle('site_admin');" />Site Admin<br>
<input type="radio" name="toggledivs" onclick="toggle('user_admin');" />User Admin<br>
<input type="radio" name="toggledivs" onclick="toggle('news_man');" />News Man<br>

 

Now the radio buttons work fine, but the href's don't.  They'll display the div if clicked, but after a second it'll disappear again, how do I make it say there until another link is clicked?

I created a version of the hide and show, let me know if this helps

<html>
<head>
	<title>Display/Hide Content</title>
	<style type="text/css">
		#ContentToDisplay {
			display: none;
		}
	</style>
	<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript">
		function showContent(idAlternate) {
			if(document.getElementById(idAlternate).style.display == 'block') {
				document.getElementById(idAlternate).style.display = 'none';
			} else if(document.getElementById(idAlternate).style.display = 'none') {
				document.getElementById(idAlternate).style.display = 'block';
			}
		}
	</script>
</head>
<body>
	<a href="#" onclick="javascript:showContent('ContentToDisplay');">Show/Hide Div</a>
	<div id="ContentToDisplay">
		<p>This is the Hidden Content</p>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

      <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript">
         function showContent(idAlternate) {
            var hideShow = document.getElementById(idAlternate);
            if(hideShow.style.display == 'block') {
               hideShow.style.display = 'none';
            } else if(hideShow.style.display == 'none') { // added another = here it should be ==
               hideShow.style.display = 'block';
            }
         }
      </script>

 

Added an extra = to the elseif and create a var to house the document element, this way you do not have to keep calling that, just the variable.

 

I have not clue if the below would break it but I never use javascript:

      <a href="#" onclick="showContent('ContentToDisplay'); return false;">Show/Hide Div</a>

 

That should work, untested but yea. I would suggest getting FireFox as it has a "Error Console" that will post you all the javascript errors, if there are any, your page has. Great for debugging javascript.
