JavaScript - Collapsing Table Initial State

Hi all,

I'm using the scripts from Dynamic Drive http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...edcollapse.htm to create a sliding collapsing/expanding div.

I need to modify it slightly so instead of an image for the toggle, it has text hyperlink - changing from "Show More" to "Show Fewer".

Can anyone help?
Thanks

Can anyone recommend a code to create an expandable panel similar the one in this link, but one which expands and collapses horizontally as opposed to vertically?

Also, to include the functionality of having content inside each panel load only after its clicked.

Hey,

I'm having trouble with this site http://bit.ly/hL0u0w...

If you go to the services section you will see a sub navigation on the left of the box. The idea of this is to have sub sections within the main headings that expand/collapse when selected. Insted when any one link is clicked the whole menu expands and not just the related sub sections.

This is the javascript

Quote:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready (function() {
$('#link1').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); });
$('.close').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideUp('fast'); });

$(document).ready (function() {
$('#link2').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); });
$('.close').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideUp('fast'); });
});
$(document).ready (function() {
$('#link3').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); });
$('.close').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideUp('fast'); });
});
});
</script>

and here is the html

Quote:
<div id="subnav4">
<ul class="navigation4 pagination">

<li class="tab4"><a rel="1" id="link1" href="#">heading 1</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">corporate id</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">branding</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">brochures</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">direct mail</a></li>

<li class="tab4"><a id="link2" href="#">heading 2</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">email marketing</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">websites</a></li>


<li class="tab4"><a id="link3" href="#">heading 3</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">advertising</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">audiovisual</a></li>

<li class="tab4"><a id="heading 3" href="#">exhibitions</a></li>

</ul>
</div>
Hope someone can help with this!

Many thanks!

Hi,

I am using jQuery for the following scenario:

There is a random number of divs, each sharing the same class (.slecteable), each having its own id (a unique string extracted from the database).

A user clicks on a div. I get the id, and change the color of this div (in gets highlighted).

Code:

$('.selectable').livequery('click',function(){

  var id;
  id = $(this).attr('id');
  //change color based on id.

});

Now comes the problem. Once a user clicks again on a div, if it wasn't highlighted, it should return to its original color. If it had been highlighted, and had returned to its original color due to a second click, it should get highlighted again.

How would you do that?

I wish I could post some code, but at this point, it would be rubbish.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

-jj.

I am trying to make a simple alert come up stating a checkbox is checked when it changes, and then another alert for when the checkbox is unchecked.

Problem is, only the alert for when the box is checked is coming up.

Anyone know why?

Code:

function displayCheckPopUp()
{
	if(document.activeElement.checked=true)
	{
		alert("A check box has been selected");
	}
	else if(document.activeElement.checked=false)<!--if(document.getElementById().checked=false)-->
	{
		alert("****");
	}
}

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="Checkbox 1" value="Checkbox 1" id="first_cbox" onchange="displayCheckPopUp(this)" /> <p class="custom_style2"> Checkbox 1 </p>

I have a form that passes values to a next step. It has two sub divs that show depending on what's selected from the dropdowns in the top two divs.

I'm trying to keep the selected sub divs open if the user hits previous step. The divs stay open in FF but not in IE.

Any ideas?

javascript:
Code:

var lastDiv = "";
function showDiv(divName) {
	var items = document.getElementById('wc_addItem_ADV');
	var form = document.getElementById('webcredit');
	var total = document.getElementById('Total');
	var amount = document.getElementById('amount');
// set checkboxes to 0
	for (var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++ ) {

			form.elements[i].checked = false;
			document.getElementById(form.elements[i].id).value = "0";
 		}
	}
	
	total.value = '';
	amount.value= '';
	// hide last div
	if (lastDiv) {document.getElementById(lastDiv).className = "hiddenDiv";}
	//if value of the box is not nothing and an object with that name exists, then change the class
	if (divName && document.getElementById(divName)) {	document.getElementById(divName).className = "visibleDiv"; lastDiv = divName;

function showInitialDiv() {
   var selBox = document.getElementById('wcsave_10_session_mconc1');
   if (selBox == undefined || selBox == null)
      return;
   var val = selBox.options[selBox.selectedIndex].value;
   if (val == null || val == '')
      return;
   showDiv(val);
}

I only call one of the sub div ID's but it seems to work in FF with no errors. Everything is called with:

Code:

<body onload="showInitialDiv();">

Hi,

I have a a html/PHP page divided into two, on the left div I have a list of subjects and on the right div I have used AJAX to populate this side with a list of questions (taken from database), this list depends on the selection made on the left. Each of the questions in the list has a checkbox, I want to be able to make selections using the checkboxes and then click on the other subjects but if I was to go back to the page with my selections the checkboxes checked previously will already be there.

Any ideas on how I can do this?

I would appreciate any help.

Currently i have rollover images when click on active a hide show div tag with the css property.

the problem is that i want to keep the buttons on active state till someone clicks on another button then the button returns to a down state and the new button that was click on stay up.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
//here you place the ids of every element you want.
var ids=new Array('a1','a2','a3','a4', 'a5','a6');

function switchid(id){
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';
}
}
}
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0

if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

}

I'm trying to diagnose the javascript part of an ajax script:
Code:

<form>
<ul id='May120128AM' name='apt_time' value='May120128AM'>
<input type="hidden" id='May120128AMhidden'  name="user_id" value='May120128AM'>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var request;
request = new XMLHttpRequest();

function checkData()
{
   alert(request.readyState);
}

var apt_time = encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById(May120128AM').value);

var userid = encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById(May120128AMhidden').value);

 var parameters = "apt_time"+apt_time  //+"&"+"user_id"+userid; 
request.open("POST", "/cgi-bin/my_script.php", true);
request.onreadystatechange = checkData;
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.send(parameters);
//-->
</script>

The checkData script puts each readyState in an alert box, so I know the javascript is firing.

If I change the red line of code to this, the alert boxes no longer pop up, so I assume the javascript is not firing:
Code:

 var parameters = "apt_time"+apt_time+"&"+"user_id"+userid; 

I thought name/value pairs were written like this:
Code:

name1=value1&name2=value2

I though that was exactly what the red line of code was doing. Does anyone know why it isn't firing?

UPDATE:
This works:
Code:

var parameters = "apt_time=+apt_time+&user_id=+userid";

I don't know why the above works and the other doesn't. They both look like they do the same thing - this:
Code:

apt_time=value1&user_id=value2

Basically I want to build the same thing.

The data is freely available there as a download.

I couldn't find anything existing in the jquery plugin space. Can anyone offer pointers on how to achieve it?

Hi Guys,

I've written the below code which submits to a servlet, does a bit of processing and returns a JSON object. I'm reaching the servlet, but I never reach the alert("ready()") in the JavaScript.

It looks as though the readyState never actually reaches state 4. Any ideas what is wrong ??

Thanks

Code:

function fetchhits() { 	
	var httpRequest = null;
	var url = "http://localhost:8080/Json/FetchTopHit?amount=1";
	
	try {
		httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); /* e.g. Firefox */
		} catch(e) {
		  try {
			  httpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");  /* some versions IE */
		  } catch (e) {
		    try {
		    	httpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");  /* some versions IE */
		    } catch (E) {
		    	httpRequest = false;
		    }
		  }
		}	
	
	httpRequest.open("GET", url, true);
    httpRequest.onreadystatechange = handler;
    httpRequest.send(null);
} 

function handler() {
	alert("hander() start");
    if (httpRequest.readyState == 4) {
    	alert("ready...");
        if (httpRequest.status == 200) {
            processJson (httpRequest.responseText);
        }
    }
}

function processJson(jsonObjectString) {
	alert ("Process the Json Object");
}

Hey I'm trying to use the adipose plugin to make rollover buttons, Everything works the first time around. I click on the button and it takes me to the link, but when I click on the 'back button' on the browser window, the rollover button stays in the hover state and stops working. Can you help please?

Here is the link for that javascript, it's not gonna fit in he

Site also employs CodeIgniter from original developer.

Code below sets up a table with a form and script in separate cells of the same row. Looks good and click on check box works ok, but script seems to only run when the page is initially loaded. Does not change variable 'c' and display the change. Am in a bind for this one. My developer is away for the holiday and CEO wants it done ASAP. Anyone have an idea?

<!-- Setup a table to hold the elements where I want them without conflicting with CodeIgniter - K.I.S.S.-->
<table style="border:0px;">
<tr>
<td style="width:600px; text-align:left;">
<!-- Un-submitted form with legend and checkbox input to acknowledge terms and display discount code -->
<form name="acknowledge" action="" method="">
<legend>I acknowledge that I have read and understand the content of this page
<!-- onClick should execute display_code() script -->
<input style="border:0px; width:40px;" type="checkbox" name="investor" onClick="display_code()"/>
</legend>
</form>
</td>
<td style="width:200px; text-align:right;">
<!-- Script should check checked state of checkbox investor and set c to appropriate value -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- set c="" after get this working -->
var c="NOT SET";
function display_code()
{
if (document.acknowledge.investor.checked)
{
var c="INVESTOR";
}
else
{
<!-- set c="" after get this working -->
var c="NO CODE";
}
}
document.write('Your code is: ' + c);
</script>
</td>
</tr>

A while back, Old Pedant wrote a nifty function which changes the class of different sets of <p> elements, in order to change the content and style of their css ':afters'.

You can see it in action here:
welcome > consult > ready ? > make line one > etc:
the ':afters' are the small red markers which appear in the middle of the red lines.

I'm now writing functions for "back" links which will return the page to its original state. I've managed to do this for most elements (change display, colour, etc): however, these ':afters' are proving a problem.

The css for the original ':afters'
Code:

.hex p:after  {
position:relative; top:0.74em; left:-2.10em; z-index:-1;
font-size:0.50em; content:":"; visibility:hidden; }

The logic of applying elaborate css, and then hiding the result is this: the css alters the line-height of the p element, so a dummy version is to applied at the outset, before the specific versions are activated.

The css for the changed ':afters'
Code:

p.xV1:after, p.xV2:after, p.xV3:after, p.xV4:after, p.xV5:after, p.xV6:after {
color:#f03; visibility:visible; content:"x"; }
p.oV1:after, p.oV2:after, p.oV3:after, p.oV4:after, p.oV5:after, p.oV6:after {
color:#f03; visibility:visible; content:"O"; }

What needs to happen is for all of these p classes to be returned to the css '.hex p:after' .

I think the function might look something like
Code:

function returnAfters(){
for (i=0; i<elP.length; i++) {
if (elP.item(i).className.charAt(1) == "V") {
	elP.item(i).className = "hex p";}
}

The original function, altho I don't think it's needed to solve this, can be found here, at line 295.

Meanwhile, one other problem area involves a jQuery function, so I'll post elsewhere.

Cheers!
