HTML - Show/hide Text
I want to show a brief description about something and have a link that says "Show Me More". When the user clicks the link, the rest of the text will appear right below it on the same page.
EXAMPLE Elephants are large animals with 4 legs. (Show Me More) <!--Once user clicks "Show Me More", the following text appears--> Elephants bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla the rest of the content here... END EXAMPLE How should I go about doing this? As an extra, if I want the content that is originally under "Show Me More" to slide down the page when the new text appears, how would I do that? Similar TutorialsI found a way to show/hide text-tables-content (divs) in my page using a link, but unfortunately, when I hit that link, the page reloads to the top again, so if it is too long, I have to scroll down again and again... Can I reload page at the scrolling place I was before, or is there a better way to hide/show divs with mouseClick on link or picture? I use this in head tag: <script language="javascript"> <!-- var state = 'none'; function showhide(layer_ref) { if (state == 'block') { state = 'none'; } else { state = 'block'; } if (document.all) { //is IE 4 or 5 (or 6 beta) eval( "document.all." + layer_ref + ".style.display = state"); } if (document.getElementById &&!document.all) { hza = document.getElementById(layer_ref); hza.style.display = state; } } //--> </script> Also, my body looks like this...: <body> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> some text <br> <p><a href="#" onclick="showhide('div1');">Show/hide me</a></p> <div id="div1" style="display: none;">This is the content</div> <p><a href="#" onclick="showhide('div2');">Show/hide me</a></p> <div id="div2" style="display: none;"> <table border="1"> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>row 2, cell 1</td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table> This is the content 222222</div> <p><a href="#" onclick="showhide('div3');">Show/hide me</a></p> <div id="div3" style="display: none;"> <table border="1"> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> <td>row 1, cell 3</td> <td>row 1, cell 4</td> <td>row 1, cell 5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>row 2, cell 1</td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> <td>row 1, cell 3</td> <td>row 1, cell 4</td> <td>row 1, cell 5</td> </tr> </table> This is the content</div> </body> can you show and hide layers with text? I know that you can use the behavior function on images to use it, but i just can't figure out how i can do it with text For example: have a layer in a HTML (hidden), when i put my mouse over a text "testing", it shows that layer, and vice-versa on mouse out. hi everyone ! I've an indented file text (directory to text, see example below ) that i need to convert in the fastest way possible to html with hide/show feature .. how can I manage this ? the list is very long and gets updated -- I i wouldnt want to do that manually .. any clue ? ex ARTIST1 CD1 1-song1 2-song2 CD2 1-song1 ARTIST2 CD3 1-song1 2-song2 CD4 1-song1 should become ARTIST1 ARTIST2 and if u click on ARTIST1 u get ARTIST1 CD1 CD2 ARTIST2 one more click on CD will show the tracks .. any idea ? thanks!F I have been trying to piece something together with a traditional DHTML show hide, but i cannot get it to work properly, so i trashed it. What I'm trying to do seems very simple. I have 2 videos I want to have on 1 page. I don't want to stack them, I just want to give the user a text link choice on which to choose. So the page would load with a generic looking video player. Which would switch out once you picked a video. HTML Code: <strong>Select: </strong><a href="#">video 1</a> | <a href="#">video 2</a> <div id="generic">generic page</div> <div id="video1">vid1</div> <div id="video2">vid2</div> I kinda got it to work in an earlier version, but it wasn't perfect. It would end up showing video1 properly, but when you clicked on video 2 it would show both. It wouldn't hide video 1. any help would be much apprecaited. I'm having a little problem with my site's Q&A. Right now, the question is shown, and the answer hidden. When a user clicks on the question, the answer will display. HOWEVER (and that's where the problem is), if said user clicks on ANOTHER question, nothing will happen UNTIL he clicks it a SECOND time! I need to make it so that the answer will display after the FIRST click (the answer will display after the first click assuming the user hasn't clicked on any questions previously). I hope this isn't too confusing. If you don't understand, say so and I'll try to explain more clearly. Code: <a onclick="showhide('div1');" href="#">Q: Is this an example?</a>
<div id="div1" style="display: none; padding: 0px; margin-left: 30px;">A: Yes, it is.</div>
<a onclick="showhide('div2');" href="#1">Q: Is this another example?</a>
<div id="div2" style="display: none; padding: 0px; margin-left: 30px;">A: Yes, unfortunately.</div>
<a onclick="showhide('div3');" href="#2">Q: What's this?</a>
<div id="div3" style="display: none; padding: 0px; margin-left: 30px;">A: You tell me.</div>
<a onclick="showhide('div4');" href="#3">Q: Is this a question?</a>
<div id="div4" style="display: none; padding: 0px; margin-left: 30px;">A: Only if this is an answer.</div>
<a onclick="showhide('div5');" href="#4">Q: Is this for real?</a>
<div id="div5" style="display: none; padding: 0px; margin-left: 30px;">A: Of course.</div>
Hi, I am working on a form. The second question depends on what the user has selected for the first question, so I have managed to set it to "Hidden" onload. This works fine. The first question is a drop-down menu option, and depending on the answer given will determine weather question 2 needs answering. I can get question to appear, if the user selects an answer needing question two answering. But if they make a mistake and decide to change the answer, question 2 won't hide again. Here is the script and html: Code: <script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>
function hidediv() {
if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById('hideshow').style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.hideshow.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else { // IE 4
document.all.hideshow.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
}
}
function showdiv() {
if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById('hideshow').style.visibility = 'visible';
}
else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.hideshow.visibility = 'visible';
}
else { // IE 4
document.all.hideshow.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
}
}

I think it's something I've set wrong in onchange"" etc.. I've tried "onclick". Any ideas why the menu won't hide again? I've got a very slow server which was making the screen->new screen time very slow, so to prevent there being agonising white inbetweeney screens, i put the meta-tags in: meta http-equiv='Page-Enter' content='blendTrans(Duration=0)' meta http-equiv='Page-Exit' content='blendTrans(Duration=0) which does the trick..but, as I am also showing, hiding elements thru script I am also seeing these elements come and go, which is confusing. Any ideas? hi all, i am having some issues with the show/hide div commands, i was hoping someone could help me out. below is the code i am using such that depending on what image you click on, a different div is shown. this works fine, but i would also like to change more than one div located in a different table cell - not sure if this is clearly explained, hopefully the code will be more concise - javascript - Code: <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function layerchange(szDivID, iState)
{
if(document.layers)
{
document.layers[szDivID].visibility = iState ? "show" : "hide";
}
else if(document.getElementById)
{
var obj = document.getElementById(szDivID);
obj.style.visibility = iState ? "visible" : "hidden";

any ideas....? Hey there! I'm kinda new here, but I really need some help. I'm trying to show/hide the Swedish translation to our lyrics on our band WP page. It can be viewed here. I'm using a table with separate <td>'s for every individual lyric and every individual translation. The translations are in <div>'s. This is included in the header: <script type="text/javascript"><!-- function showhide(el){ el=document.getElementById(el); el.style.display=(el.style.display=="block")?"none":"block"; } //--></script> And this is the code for my little Swedish flag you click to make the translation DIVs visible. The names within '' are the different lyric DIVs. <p>Show/hide translation: <a href="#" onclick="showhide('armourswe');showhide('seamsswe');showhide('breathswe');showhide('cornersswe');sho whide('cunningswe');showhide('whiteswe');showhide('graniteswe');showhide('liliesswe');showhide('beac hesswe');showhide('pebblesswe');showhide('rockswe');showhide('ruinsswe');showhide('sarabandeswe');sh owhide('unknownswe');return false;"><img src="http://www.alpha60.net/wordpress/images/swedish.jpg" alt="Show/hide Swedish translation" /></a></p> Why does IE move the left column down when the translations are visible? It works fine in Firefox. I'm not a HTML king and tried a long time to get this far, so I'd really love some help! Address: http://www.alpha60.net/lyrics /Leo from Sweden I've been making a website for a car enthusiast and I need to be able to show different pictures of cars when the thumbnail is clicked. I'm using layers to to this. When I click on a thumbnail it shows the car and hides what was previously there. The problem I have is that when I add a new thumbnail, I have to go through all the other thumbs and set them to hide it onClick. This is getting really manotinous now that I have over 30 thumbs. I looked at the Dramweaver help file and it does state that : (You can change the visibility of multiple layers with a single behavior.) But it doesnt actually tell you how!! Anybody help me out?? Leroy It works correctly, but did I do it correctly to add color? I want the show/hide to be blue and the text to be red. <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> a.showandhide{ color: rgb(0,0,255); } body{ color: rgb(255,0,0); } </style> <title>Test hide thing from TIF T&C</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function showhide(id) { if(document.getElementById(id).style.display == 'none') { document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block'; } else { document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none' } } </script> <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="showhide('box')" class="showandhide">Show / Hide</a> <div id="box" style="display:none;"> Blah blah blah blah blah blah </div> </body> </html> So here's hoping you fine people will be able to help me I've found similar things, but not like this. I have a HTML Form, just a normal simple form, the data is sent using POST method to PHP, PHP has a thank you page, I get the E-Mail easy! >> Boring Part Start << This website is a online booking form for holidays in Cornwall, UK. People enter there info, then the party info. The thing is people in the party could be 1, could be 5, could be 8, or even just 2. >> Boring Part End << I Want A Drop Down Menu that will be able to hide forms or show forms So, it goes like this Title First Name Last Name Date Of Birth [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] [field] But I want it so, if someone picks the number 1 from this drop down list, only the first row of forms, or if someone picks 5, it shows 5 rows and if someone clicks 2, it only shows 2. I was wondering if I could use the Drop Down to hide DIV's or something and put each row in a DIV. Oh and btw, the fields are in tables at the moment. I made that more complicated then I should off ... lol. My HTML skill isn't that good, but I'll get my hands dirty if I must. Jme Hi, I need to move the hide content link from the bottom up to the top. It needs to replace the show category. Example: show category is clicked hide category is then displayed. When hide category is clicked show category is displayed. Also I can't seem to make the 1 2 3 4 buttons highlight when active. When you click on a number it slides along to that number but doesn't highlight what number you are on Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

Please can some one help? many thanks Joe Hi there, I'm experiencing a strange problem in IE with the show-hide layers behavior. I have 4 layers, each with images inside them which are meant to link to other pages. This works fine in Firefox but not so in IE. The odd thing is that when you hover over the images in IE the link appears in the status bar and if you right click and choose "open link" it does work. The site is here www.patons.org/v2/ and its the images at the top that I'm talking about. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Alex I've been having trouble trying to figure out how to get my hidden input tags to work. What I want: I have a section of Text I want to appear in the same page, After the user has clicked on a certain link. I do not want to make a similar page with the added text because that takes up too much space. I also need the simplest way to do this because I'll be repeating it many times all over my site. How do I do it?: I'm pretty new to this whole HTML and PHP thing. I've had someone program my website for me, but I really don't want to have to pay him every time I want some little change made. So, my question is, is there a way in an HTML file to hide or unhide text by adding some command in the file? I would just like to have the headings for each section displayed, then the user could click a "read more" type button or something that would then display the text related to that heading, without refreshing the page. Something like this: Quote: THE FIRST HEADING read more THE SECOND HEADING read more Then, when you click on "read more", you would see this: Quote: THE FIRST HEADING Here's some text relating to this heading. And here's even more text. And still more. hide text THE SECOND HEADING read more Thanks in advance for your responses and help. Hi, I very badly need help in hiding text which i cannot control - meaning that the text appears on all of my pages, and it is not in the coding of the page. I keep getting the text "Free Hosting Provided by Company Name" on all my pages. When I make a html page or php page or whatever, it always has that text appearing somewhere in the page. When I press view source, the text appears. I must also tell you to clarify that I am not violatiing/ Breaking the Terms of Service given by the hosting company. I have checked throug the terms and it doesn't mentionanything. Infact on the homepage it says "NO ADS" & "No Links". Just letting u know so u don't waste time asking and For your own peace of mind, so u u know u r not doing something bad. The code must be text specific so that it only applies to that text in the page. Anyways, i am sure there is a solution to this. Maybe some use of CSS may help, but I am not sure. (like transparency, or change specific text colour to white?). Or Javascript? I don't know. Any questions? please ask. Thank You Very Much. Your Help is Appreciated! Hi guys. I have a block of text on a html page. I want users to be able to click on 'more' at the end of the paragraph and this will reveal a few more paraghraphs. I have it working in safari with the following code: HTML Code: some text here. <a onclick=" hiddenTxt.style.visibility = 'visible';">More.</a> <div id="hiddenTxt">the hidden text here</div> In my css page i state the visibility as being hidden. The user then clicks more and the txt appears. As i say this works in safari but not firefox or windows. Any suggestions of where iv gone wrong or of a better way of doing this. Many thanks. I know there's got to be a pretty easy way to do this but I am having difficulties. I'm making a FAQ for my website, and all I want to do is have a list of questions, and you can click the question and the answer will appear directly underneath it. Then if you click the question again, the answer will become hidden. Sounds easy enough right? How do I do it? hi i have this code. for the submit button i am using a pic, but for some reason when i mouse over the alt text doesnt pop up. how can i fix this? HTML Code: <form action="status_c.php" method="post" name="note" target="_blank"><input type="hidden" name="term2" value="<?php echo "$file_id"; ?>"> <input type="hidden" name="bf" value="<?php echo $b_fname; ?>"> <input type="hidden" name="bl" value="<?php echo $b_lname; ?>"> <input align=center type="image" value="Notes" src="images/status.png" width="21" height="21" border="0" alt="Notes" name="Notes"> |
