JavaScript - Show/hide Menu's Using Tabs

Hi Chaps,

I have a dynamic list menu:
PHP Code:
    <?php $currentCat = '';       
    $first = true
    ;?>
    <ul>  
        <?php   
        do {       
        if ($currentCat != $row_rsCategory['catname']) {            
        if (!$first) {                 
        echo "\n</ul>\n</li>\n";            
        }            
        $currentCat = $row_rsCategory['catname'];            
        ?>      
            <li><?php echo $row_rsCategory['catname']; ?>       
                <ul>      
                <?php }?>          
                    <li><?php echo $row_rsCategory['galleryname']; ?></li>          
                <?php $first = false;  
                } while ($row_rsCategory = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategory));  
                ?>   
                </ul>   
            </li>   
    </ul>

I've tried looking for a show/hide script, to toggle category names/gallery names, but could only find ones that have static menu options, and have failed to edit existing code to fit....any help or guidence would be appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure a solution to this CSS/JavaScript navigation menu. I have a couple of different classes set out for each level of the menu, which there are 4 levels max. The first level has a class for it called 'pMenuMain'. The second and third have names 'pMenu2' and 'pMenu3'. The 4th level is found by its <a> tags, because all of those are links.

This is the JavaScript I need to change somehow:

Code:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var timeout    = 1000;
var closetimer = 0;
var ddmenuitem = 0;

function jsddm_open()
{  jsddm_canceltimer();
   jsddm_close();
   ddmenuitem = $(this).find('ul').css('visibility', 'visible');}

function jsddm_close()
{  if(ddmenuitem) ddmenuitem.css('visibility', 'hidden');}

function jsddm_timer()
{  closetimer = window.setTimeout(jsddm_close, timeout);}

function jsddm_canceltimer()
{  if(closetimer)
   {  window.clearTimeout(closetimer);
      closetimer = null;}}

$(document).ready(function()
{  $('.pMenu2').hover(jsddm_open, jsddm_timer)
   $('.pMenu > li > ul').hover(jsddm_open, jsddm_timer)});

document.onclick = jsddm_close;
</script>

Now this is the CSS style sheet:

Code:

/********************/

I know that I will receive critique for the HTML I created for this. The reason I am going this route is that a drop down menu with a list full of <a href="#"> can be clicked, resetting the menu. This is a flaw in functionality.

Trying to get the divs to switch style properties when selected form select menu. Any help would be great!

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showstuff(element){
        if(document.getElementById(element).style.display = 'block')
                  {
                        document.getElementById(have).style.visibility="block";
                        document.getElementById(look).style.visibility="none";
                  }
        else if(document.getElementById(element).style.visibility = 'block')
                  {
                        document.getElementById(look).style.visibility="block";
                        document.getElementById(have).style.visibility="none";
                  }
}
</script>

<select name="type" onchange="showstuff(this.value);">
          <option value="look">Look</option>
          <option value="have">Have</option>
</select>
<div id="have" style="display:block;">Have</div>
<div id="look" style="display:none;">Look</div>

I have an javascript coding issue with regards to a tabbed menu.

The code is supposed to hide the unselected divs and show the selected div, but all divs are showing and no tab is selected when the page initialises.

The source code is viewable he http://www.kenaani.co.uk

I was following this tutorial: http://www.elated.com/articles/javascript-tabs/

Which works fine in this example: http://www.elated.com/res/File/artic...ript-tabs.html

I have tried commenting out the other scripts, and the divs still show on the page, so I don't think its a conflicting issue.

Am hoping that someone can spot whatever is going wrong.

this is what im trying to do: http://www.linkstraffic.net/programm...d/movebox.html

using this code: http://www.linkstraffic.net/programm...nd/movediv.php

heres my code. can someone fix it?

Can someone fix this for me?

Hello,

I have the folowing code but it seems to be broken between "SM Decision Support" and "Incident and Request Management".

Does anyone know how I resolve ?.

The idea is when somebody opens the page all the sections are hidden/uncollapsed and the user can collapse individually each section with a click or by hitting the expand/collapse all link.

Have placed code in attachment as too long for this section

Im pretty new to JS so Im sure this is not the best way to go about this but it'll do for now, any suggestions welcome

I have a script to show and hide various divs based on a function & var.

The problem im having is that when ANY of the variables ('hate', 'ok' and 'love') are passed all 3 different feedback forms ('FeedbackHate', 'FeedbackOk' and 'FeedbackLove') appear, not just the one I want.

here is the JS:

Code:

function sitesurveyswitch(emotion) {

	var e = emotion;

	document.getElementById('site_survey_hate').style.backgroundPosition = '0px 0px';
	document.getElementById('site_survey_ok').style.backgroundPosition = '0px 0px';
	document.getElementById('site_survey_love').style.backgroundPosition = '0px 0px';
	document.getElementById('FeedbackHate').style.display = 'none';
	document.getElementById('FeedbackOk').style.display = 'none';
	document.getElementById('FeedbackLove').style.display = 'none';
		
	if (e == 'hate')
		document.getElementById('site_survey_hate').style.backgroundPosition = '-80px 0px';
		document.getElementById('FeedbackHate').style.display = 'block';
	if (e == 'ok')
		document.getElementById('site_survey_ok').style.backgroundPosition = '-80px 0px';
		document.getElementById('FeedbackOk').style.display = 'block';
	if (e == 'love')
		document.getElementById('site_survey_love').style.backgroundPosition = '-80px 0px';
		document.getElementById('FeedbackLove').style.display = 'block';
}

and here is the code related to this function:

Code:

<div id="siteSurveyBox">
				<span id="site_survey_hate" onclick="sitesurveyswitch('hate');return false;"></span>
				<span id="site_survey_ok" onclick="sitesurveyswitch('ok');return false;"></span>
				<span id="site_survey_love" onclick="sitesurveyswitch('love');return false;"></span>
			</div>
			
			<div id="FeedbackHate" style="display:none; margin-top:-28px;">
				FEEDBACK FORM IS HERE
			</div>
			
			<div id="FeedbackOk" style="display:none; margin-top:-28px;">
				FEEDBACK FORM IS HERE
			</div>
			
			<div id="FeedbackLove" style="display:none; margin-top:-28px;">
				FEEDBACK FORM IS HERE
			</div>

Code:

I don't know a lot about Javascript... still learning..
I am trying to create a show/hide effect that displays an image based on the users text input. I have coded this before for a list/menu and it works fine. With this particular project there are too many selections to choose from to put in a list/menu. I am trying to use if and else if statements to make this work. With the code the way it is only the first function on the list works. I tried just using repeating if statements and only the last function on the list works. Here is the code:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript" >

function showSample() {
	
  if (document.getElementById('input').value='SW001') {
	document.getElementById('SW001').style.display='block';
    document.getElementById('SW002').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW003').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW004').style.display='none';

  }
  else if (document.getElementById('input').value='SW002') {
	document.getElementById('SW001').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW002').style.display='block';
    document.getElementById('SW003').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW004').style.display='none';

  }
  else if (document.getElementById('input').value='SW003') {
	document.getElementById('SW001').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW002').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW003').style.display='block';
    document.getElementById('SW004').style.display='none';

  }
    else if (document.getElementById('input').value='SW004') {
	document.getElementById('SW001').style.display='block';
    document.getElementById('SW002').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW003').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW004').style.display='none';

  }
  
    else if (document.getElementById('input').value='SW005') {
	document.getElementById('SW001').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW002').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW003').style.display='none';
    document.getElementById('SW004').style.display='block';

  }

Hello, I'm trying to have a div be hidden on loading the page but when you click a link it will show the div... here's code I have but it doesn't show when you click the link...

<script type="text/javascript">
function show(){
document.getElementById(test).style.display="block";
}

</script>

<div id="test" style="display:none;">

Hi all,

Check this code:
PHP Code:
<a>text</a>
<div id="pkg">pkg</div>
<div id="table_pkg">table_pkg</div> 


I'd like to show table_pkg and hide pkg when I click on <a>text</a>.
How can I do?

Thank you very much

Hi guys, im new to forums and need some help with my website.
I have embed a flash player known as: JW player into my website and put it into a div.
Now my problem is I want javascript to hide the div containing the flash player for atleast a few seconds to display a loading image.gif.
How would I set this up?
Im not to familiar about using javascript so im not sure if its even possible.
Anways thx for any help ore suggestions related to this subject.

I have a script that is to hide specific divs and show the one called, or at least that is what I would like to happen.

Right now when I click the link to show my div it hides my entire page and display the item in quetion.

When I parse the return from document.getelementbytagname('div') it shows that I have 8 elements on my page. Great, but I only want to turn off the ones that match the following reg exp: "/^F\d+$/" the rest of the page I want to be left in tact.

So far the rabbit trail that I am going down is working out so great, can you advise a script that will let me hide all div elements that match a specific pattern: /^F\d+$/

I have two samples that I am working from.
The first:
Code:

<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'> 

function showDiv(pass) { 
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
alert(divs.length);
var regExp = "/^F\d+$/";
 
for(i=0; i<divs.length; i++){//
	var obj = document.getElementsById(pass).item(i); 
	if (obj){
		var divIdName = obj.id;
		alert(divIdName);
	}
	//myregexp = /regex/
		alert(i);
			if(divs[i].id.match(pass))//if they are 'see' divs 
			{
				alert(divs[i].id.value);
				if (document.getElementById) // DOM3 = IE5, NS6 
					divs[i].style.visibility="visible";// show/hide 
				else if (document.layers) // Netscape 4 
						document.layers[divs[i]].display = 'visible'; 
				else // IE 4 
					document.all.divs[i].visibility = 'visible'; 
			} else if (!divIdName.match(pass) && document.getElementById()== regExp){ 
				if (document.getElementById) 
					divs[i].style.visibility="hidden"; 
				else if (document.layers) // Netscape 4 
					document.divs[i].visibility = 'hidden'; 
				else // IE 4 
					document.all.divs[i].visibility = 'hidden'; 
			} else {  }
	}	
} //end function

</script>

The second example is closer to what I want to do, but I haven't been able to figure out how to dynamically load the array "var ids=new Array();" so that I can automate the script.

The code for this page:
Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
//here you place the ids of every element you want.
//var ids=new Array('F256','F257','F258','F259');// etc...
var divs; // = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); 
var obj;
var divIdName;
var ids=new Array();

function switchid(id){
	divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); 
	
	for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++){//
		
		obj = document.getElementsByName(id).item(i); 
		divIdName = obj.id;
		
		alert(divIdName);
		if(divIdName.match(/^F\d+$/))
		{
			ids[i] = divIdName;	
				
		}
	
		alert(divs.length);
	}
		
	hideallids();
	showdiv(id);
}

function hideallids(){
	//loop through the array and hide each element by id
	for (var i=0;i<ids.length;i++){
		hidediv(ids[i]);
	}		  
}

function hidediv(id) {
	//safe function to hide an element with a specified id
	if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
		document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none';
	}
	else {
		if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
			document.id.display = 'none';
		}
		else { // IE 4
			document.all.id.style.display = 'none';
		}
	}
}

function showdiv(id) {
	//safe function to show an element with a specified id
		  
	if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
		document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
	}
	else {
		if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
			document.id.display = 'block';
		}
		else { // IE 4
			document.all.id.style.display = 'block';
		}
	}
}
</script>

Been struggling with this for a couple days now and just not making any headway. Could you advise?

I am quite confident with html but don't know javascript.

I have some script to hide/unhide a div when clicking a link but it isn't quite what I want. Any help to modify it would be great.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
 function unhide(divID) {
 var item = document.getElementById(divID);
 if (item) {
 item.className=(item.className=='hidden')?'unhidden':'hidden';
 }
 }
 </script>

I understand that this checks if a div is hidden or not and changes it.

What I actually want is:-

I have a string called $hiddendiv

I want the function to
hide the div $hiddendiv
let $hiddendiv = (DivID)
unhide(DivID)

The code for this would be great.

Thanks in advance.
