Hi friends, I want to expand hidden text on a webpage and after some (re)search on google i came across the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Expand(node)
{
// Change the image (if there is an image)
if (node.childNodes.length > 0)
{
if (node.firstChild.tagName == "IMG")
{
node.firstChild.src = "minus.gif";
}
}
node.nextSibling.style.display = '';
}
function Collapse(node)
{
// Change the image (if there is an image)
if (node.childNodes.length > 0)
{
if (node.firstChild.tagName == "IMG")
{
node.firstChild.src = "plus.gif";
}
}
node.nextSibling.style.display = 'none';
}
function Toggle(node)
{
// Unfold the branch if it isn't visible
if (node.nextSibling.style.display == 'none')
{
Expand(node);
}
// Collapse the branch if it IS visible
else
{
Collapse(node);
}
node.childNodes[1].nodeValue = (node.nextSibling.style.display == 'none')? 'More...' : 'Less...';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a onclick="Toggle(this)" style="cursor:pointer;"><img src="plus.gif" alt="Expand/Collapse" /> More...</a><p style="display:none;">This is a sample of the expanded text that will show up when "+ More..." is clicked</p>
</body>
</html>
Now the script displays a .gif image of a plus sign(expand) with 'More...' beside it and when the .gif file or the 'More...' is clicked the hidden text appears and the plus.gif is replaced with a minus.gif and 'More...' changes to 'Less...' but i want to implement it in another way, i want that once the expand (plus.gif) is clicked, no other .gif should appear again, i dont know how to modify the code to do it, so friends please help me out
i am a newbie in javascript so such a dumb doubt had to come
Thanx :)
