I'm learning how to use Javascripts and using Prototype framework by following a step by step tutorial from a book. Unfortunately when I stepping through the following code:[code]
I have been staring at this problem for too long and most likely missing a simple solution so I hope somebody can take my blindfold off and show me the way The markup (which comes from a CMS and I cannot change it) I am working with is akin to:
Notice how the second fo 3 FAQ sections has 2 paragraphs under the 'trigger' rather than 1? Therein lies my problem, because what I am doing with prototype.js is:
1.) Loop through page and collect all <p>'s 2.) do a .each iteration and attach an onclick event on $$('p strong.open') - assume this node for each iteration is now var 'trigger' 3.) run Element.hide() on trigger.next() 4.) in the onclick event, run Element.show() for trigger.next()
- If you are still following so far - my problem is that next() only shows/hides one single element and that is the <p> holding the content - which is fine except when there are 2 or even more <p>'s with content I need to act on. I;ve experimented with nextSiblings and adjacent() and I end up with too many nodes - basically every <p> in the entire document. I just want 'hide all P's after the trigger P up until the next p > strong.open
I have 3 divs that contain radio with labels and beneath each radio button I would like to show/hide a form based on whether the radio is selected or not.
Code idea:
So if the radio1 input is selected this would show form1. Selecting radio2 input would hide any other forms (form1, form3) and show form 2 etc.
I am trying to hide/show table when hide/show button is pressed
Problem: The code works fine when I remove 'slow' from line 10. But with 'slow' in line 10 content of toggleButton doesnt change from Hide to Show when pressed.
I was trying to make some clever class based on a factory pattern. See this page: [URL] So i did this:
[Code]....
As you can see, I have an internal method "showDialog". In the jQuery part, where i create a dialog, I have two function for the drag and dragStop events. Why can I not create them in the same way as the showDialog function? Something like this
How would I go about copying all the prototype functions AND the constructor from one object into another object, and then call them?
I know I can use this.example.call(this), but that's not an acceptable solution. I want to deploy this style over dozens, potentially hundreds of objects.
I always want "smenu3" to show with "smenu4" and "smenu5" collapsed... When the user clicks the link, it calls a javascript function to show "smenu4" like so...
I'm trying to make a table that will hide multiple rows in single js functions... now I put together a way to do it, but it requires multiple id declarations in the functions, is there any way to do it with classes instead of IDs, so that I can have a blanket class that I can use?See:

ill admit im extremely new to jquery i come from the flex/flash world and looking to see what the hype is allo about. with that being said. im trying to perform a simple screen scroll after all this code has run but nothing seems to work
According to ECMAScript, the root of the prototype chain is Object.Prototype. Each object has an internal property [[Prototype]] that could be another object or NULL.... However, it also says that every function has the Function prototype object: Function.Prototype, it confused me, because a function is an object, for a function object, what is its function prototype and object prototype..For example:
var x = function (n) {return n+1;};
what is the relationships of x, Object.Prototype and Function.Prototype
I am trying to get to the bottom of javascript object, prototypes etc. I have a fairly good grasp of it, but I get confused the closer I get to the base object.prototype. FIrst of all, I was under the impression that all objects descend directly from Object. But some objects (like Array) seem to inherit properties and methods from the function.prototype. So does this mean that the chain is like this:
object -- function -- array Second, I noticed (on the mozilla javascript reference site that object.prototype inherits properties and methods from function.prototype and vice versa!? How can this be? I must be missing something important about understanding the chain?
I am trying to hide some form elements in a form by default and show/hide depending on which radio button is clicked. This is what I have but it is not working: Code:
I'd like to have a show/hide widget on my web site, kind of like "show details" / "hide details" in Google Groups. Is there a tutorial explaining how to make them? Google's is a bit complex and it's easy to get something wrong. If the browser does not support the required features, I want it to generate a completely static page with the "details" shown automatically.
i have 5 sections in seperate divs and i am trying to collapse them using anchor onclicks and some js to toggle the display style. I am a little unsure of how to make this piece of code work a little more elegantly(lack of js symantic knowledge). Code:
I have 5 links and 5 divs. When the page loads I've set the visibility of first div to visible and all the rest are hidden. When the user clicks on second link I want to hide all the other divs and show only second. Similarly when the user clicks third link I want to show third div only. You get the idea. Here is what I have so far. Nothing happens when I click the second link.
Basically, I need a link that gives the user an option to show the rest of an article, and then a link UNDER the rest of the article to hide a post again. The link needs to work uniquely with each link. Every method I've used so far has worked for one post, and on the next post, when the link is clicked, it just shows the rest of the first post.
I have a javascript that works great in every browser except IE8. In IE8 the rows of links change but this ONLY happens when you open and close the info using the same link.
I would like to add some javascript to show/hide a certain row of a table. The first row of the table contain the hyperlink that calls the javascript the second row is the one i want to show/hide with the javascript in a toggle fashion.
the problem is a know very little javascript and have become incredibly frustrated because i went ahead thinking it was going to be like C. its not.
I know i can use these lines to do the actual work:
but I don't think i can use a getElementById exactly because i want to reference the element via its relationship to the hyperlink that calls the javascript, i know this can be done. You see there will be several tables on one page and i want to be able to toggle each one independently; hopefully with the same bit of javascript.
