Im trying to find a script like ipb that toggles menu's so they expand and contract.
I've looked around and cant seem to find a good explaination of how its done.. or a script taht accually works. outa the free ones i mean.
Any help in a direction would be nice.
Thanks.
Concept is very simple, just toggle the visibility state on click of a button. A small JS function.
And to bind to a couple of elements:Code:function toggleVisibility(id)
{
element = document.getElementById(id);
element.style.visibility = (element.style.visiblity == 'visible' ? 'hidden' : 'visible');
}
HTML Code:<!-- The toggle: -->
<p><a title="Toggle visiblity" href="javascript:toggleVisibility('block1)">Toggle</a></p>
<div id="block1">
<p>Anything within this div should appear/disappear when the above link is clicked.</p>
</div>
That dont work btw... it gave error in IE and did nutin in FF.
If you have solution post it.. Until then ima keep trying.
Thanks For your help.
If this helps in finding what im looking for tehn...
here it is..
What i have is a table with links in it.
this is a slab of the table with links... one header and then after that is links.
the first <tr></tr> is the nav header with the image on it that when clicked will hide it.
PHP Code:<!-- ////////////////////////////// -->
<tr>
<td width="160" height="34" background="template/default/images/cbv1_01.gif" class="navigation_body"><div align="center" class="style1">
<div align="left"> <img src="images/exp_minus.gif" width="10" height="10" onclick="toggleVisibility('member_console')"> Members Console</div>
</div></td>
</tr>

</tr>
<tr>
<td height="18" class="navigation_body"><div align="left"><a href="?console&OPT=change_skin">Change Skin</a></div></td>
</tr>
im pretty sure im going to have to make it one <tr></tr>
and have div's separate the links. Thats of coarse if i cant do it this way.?Can I?
I'd love to learn Javascript so i could do this easily.. but idk where to look.. Google is sucking.
Last post kinda solved. I can turn it invisible.. but ...meh dont wana just use div's... n stuff.. if you get what i mean...hopefully.
How would i make it so that when it turns invisible it doesnt seem like its a big space missing?
cuz just the content goes away.....meh..
To remove part of a table, use the value "collapse" in place of "hidden". That will remove the whitespace left when the element is hidden.
If you need to be able to toggle sections of the table at once, you can use multiple <tbody> elements. Each <tbody> can contain multiple <tr>'s, thus forming a section of the full table.
BTW, next time just post again instead of editing, I never saw that message so I couldn't help earlier ;)
ahh okay.
about the <tbody> i've never used em before.. dont really know what they used for...so i never woulda thought about that.Thanks.
Works in FF not IE... how would i fix that?
Btw.. i usually edit my posts.. but when i feel that i have something to say that may conflict with what the earlier post has..i'll "usually" post another reply.
I know i should stop doing that but...ehh.
Can you post the file? I'd like to fiddle with it. It's always a pain trying to get things working properly in IE.
sure.
It may not be pretty... but atm im not about making the code look nice..just getting it to work first.HTML Code:<link href=".../../template/default/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

function showtime(){
var now = new Date()

var seconds = now.getSeconds()
var timeValue = "" + ((hours > 12) ? hours - 12 : hours)
