Set text of container - javascript help, please!

I have used Dreamweaver behaviours to "Set text of container" and make different writing appear inside a box when I click a hotspot. Now I want people to be able to click on the writing that just appeared and make more text appear in another box. Could someone tell me how to do this? I don't think I can use Dreamweaver's behaviours for this because there's no material trigger... in that the writing that is the trigger only appears when the first trigger is clicked, but I'm more than happy to be corrected!!
So, I've been trawling through javascript libraries but I don't know what I'm doing, so if someone could either tell me how to do this in dreamweaver or really spell out what libraries etc. I need to download and what code I need to make a bit of text that's already a set text of a container into a trigger for a set text of another container, that would be great!
Sorry for the complicated question, it's difficult to explain what I mean.
All help very much appreciated ^^

Set Text of Container to HTML not working

I have a div tag named "theAnswer" on a page. When the user
clicks the "Submit" button, I want some text to appear inside the
div that has HTML formatting.
The HTML code for the text I want to appear is below:
You are correct! We are committed to conducting
business with
the highest degree of integrity, complying with legal
standards and
regulations and serving others with respect, fairness and
caring.  Click here for <a
href="javascript:;"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../docs/
Ethics_Standard_1.pdf','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=790,height=575')">More
Info</a> or click Continue.
After I put in the Behavior to "Set Text > Set Text of
Container to", choose the correct Div tag, and paste the above into
the "New HTML" field, when I click the Submit button, I get the
following appearing in the div "theAnswer" exactly how it appears
below as text without it being actual formatted HTML.

It's not formatted as HTML, it just comes out exactly what
the coding is. Why?!

Let's see the page, please.

'set text of container' won't work in IE8

(I'm resubmitting this discussion as I wrote the wrong version of IE in my last post).
Hoping someone can help
At the moment I am using 'swap image' to change the text that appears within one container when I hover over different buttons.
I am using images of text rather than text itself because I have found that the 'set text of container' won't work when tested in IE8 (which is important for me). This makes the page much slower to load than it should be.
It works perfectly in Firefox and Safari but not in IE8.
Below is a link to my site page which shows how it should work (even though it's currently just images not text)
http://www.lindengraphics.com.au/feedback.html
And below is the coding which appears when I set the page using 'set text of container'.
<div id="apDivthumb1"><img src="assets/client_feedback/fdb_thumb1.jpg" alt="thumnbail1" name="fdb_thumb1" width="43" height="43" id="fdb_thumb1" onmouseover="MM_setTextOfLayer('feedbacktbl','','"Example of text I have written."')" /></div>
<div id="apDivthumb2"><img src="assets/client_feedback/fdb_thumb2.jpg" alt="thumbnail2" width="43" height="43" onmouseover="MM_setTextOfLayer('feedbacktbl','','"Example of text I have written."')" /></div> etc etc
I've taught myself Dreamweaver so am still fairly new to it and coding (although not new to website design) so please explain things in simple terms so that it's clear for me.
If anyone has the time to help me with this it would be really appreciated!!
Many thanks in advance, Michelle

Good News!
There is no problem in any version of IE on a windows based machine.

How do I GET the 'set text of container' behavior in DW CS3 if it's missing?

I'm building a site using CSS in DW CS3 (bought in May 2006) that has some photo gallery pages where a large image changes per thumbnails to its right that are clicked. The thumbnails are in their divs and the wished-for big image should appear in a larger div to the left. I've read in other postings here that I can use Behaviors panel > Set Text > Set text to container to do this, but this behavior is missing in my Set Text submenu. How do I add this behavior there?
Also, how do I not only create this 'on click' behavior, but have the thumbnail image change to a 'HIT' state like a rollover would?
(P.S. - posted this yesterday, slightly different heading, but it didn't appear today)
Thanks for your help --

Check this location in windows C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Set Text
If this Set Text folder is not there it means that the behavior did not get installed. So you might need to reinstall DW CS3.

How to restore image after Set Text of Container behavior

Hi there, I'm not sure how to apply the Set Text of Container behavior. Basically, when I mouse over an image, I want a larger version of the image with decription text to appear. I also want to restore the original image without text on mouse out.
I want the larger image and its text to appear in the exact location of the original image not anywhere else on the page. Here's an example what I've done to try and achieve the effect:-
1. Create a div and insert image in it.
2. Select the image and Set Text of Container behavior. Under the Set Text of Container dialog box, select the div that the image is in (e.g. div "apdiv1") and type in the New HTML - For example: <img src="largerimage.jpg"><span id="apdiv1">image description</span>
3. Set the event to mouseover
I do not know how to proceed to restore the original image without text when I mouse out. I know I’m doing something wrong to achieve this effect but I can’t figure out what it is. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Use CSS Disjointed Rollovers.

"Set text of container" behavior crashes Dreamweaver! (CS3)

When I try to change pages which use the "Set text of
container" behavior it
crashes DW-CS3. The dialog which used to come up first shows
a series of
asterisks in the drop-down for the container selected, and
the CPU does
overtime for about a minute before the correct values appear.
If I change
any values and OK it, then CPU starts using over 90% on DW
and nothing
happens until I force a shut-down (I've left it running for
over 15 mins!)
I have tried setting up a new "Set text of container"
behavior and the same
thing happens.

Oh it truly needs work...
http://www.jackbooks.com/Wystan/Regional/Regionalism.htm
Even on a simple new page with a couple of divs this
behaviour is now very
slow and the line of asterisks comes up while waiting for the
dialog to
load. What has changed? How can a simple behaviour be now so
demanding?

Set text of container

i am trying to create a login at the top of a page, where it
will say "Welcome Guest! Not a guest? Sign in here." i inserted a
login table, and tried using it, and it didnt work at all. i used
the behaviors>Set text>set text of container. so when you
click on that text, it changes the text, to the login box. I
inserted the html, and it doesnt work at all. what is going on
here?
thank you.

<div align="left" id="toplogin"

Can links inside "set text of container" behaviours open in a new page?

I am using the set text of container behaviour to show different information within the same page, to keep things neat and simple to navigate. Some of the text needs to be external links, but they open in the current page, not a new page even though I have set the target to _blank.
Is there another way to keep using the set text of container and have the links open in another page?
thanks!

Well, after some further google searches, I'll answer my own question...
selecting the link inside the set text of container and adding a behaviour to it - "open in browser" will make the link open in a new window.
Or ading target="_blank" to each link will do the same

Set Text in Container- Different Classes each line of text

I'm using the Set text of Container behavior to function as a caption in my displaced rollover. It works fine but there is one problem I'm having.
My orginal "placeholder" caption looks something like this:
Project Name
Location
Photographer
I achieved this by using "span" on the orginal caption and each line has a class.
However when I rollover it loses it's styling. How do I apply the classes to the text in the behavior?
Thanks

Sorta.
So I would type in this below in set behavior box?
<span class="projectname">Project Name<br /> </span> etc.....

Iframe redirect javascript help please

Hi:
My client uses a loan application on another service's site, and I embedded the form in an iFrame to keep the user on my client's site.
At the Submit of the form, it redirects to the client's home page, but it does it within the confines of the frame -- I want the redirect to go to the "top" Home page. Unfortunately, the offsite service cannot apply a target="_top" to the redirect link script.
The link is http://sequoiapacificmortgage.com/loan-application/
The service said this:
"The thank you page after the application and before the redirect URL has a unique URL.
Is it possible to code your iframe to recognize this URL and redirect the full site to your home page rather than depending on the vLender redirect within the iframe?
I am including the unique thank you page URL from Lori's website below, the ref_ID attribute is the unique application ID number assigned to my test application (the application ID's are generated using the first 3 letters of the applicant's first name [LYN for Lynsee] and the first 3 letters of the applicant's last name [TES for Testing] followed by the numeric sequence) but you should be able to remove that and have your custom site's code recognize the .php url which would trigger a redirect within your site's code that would take place before our system enacts its redirect to the home page within the iframe.
(https://www.vlender.com/apps/templates/new_thank_you.php?ref_id=LYNTES998262971)"
I have seen several references to Javascript to accomplish the desired redirect, but I am not sure how to construct it, nor if it can capture the presence of the mentioned URL to trigger it.
Can anyone help please? Thanks much!

You are talking about JavaScript - Java and JavaScript are two completely different things. Therefore, this is not the correct area to post that question.

Javascript Help Please

I want to be able to have a combo box to automatically populate a field with a certain phrase or number. I dont know javascript and need some help.
For example, in "combo box 1"- Cats, Dogs, Hamsters, Fish
If I chose Cats, "Text1" field should populate "25,000"
If I chose Dogs, "Text1" field should populate "10,000"
I know this is a simple custom calculation but still need assistance
Thanks

The easiest way is to set the export value of each combo box item to the corresponding numeric value. The calculation simply sets the value of the field to the value of the combo box. In JavaScript, this would be:
event.value = getField("combo box 1").value;
If you don't want to set export values fro the combo box items, the custom calculation script could look like:
(function () {
    // Object to associate combo box items with numbers
    var oVals = {
        "Cats" : "25,000",
        "Dogs" : "10,000",
        "Birds" : "15,000"
    // Set this field value to number associated with item, or blank if missing
    event.value = oVals[getField("combo box 1").value] || "";

WAD - adding menu entries with JavaScript - help please!

Hiya,
I am completely new to JavaScript and I need some help with adding menu entries into my WAD template. Can anyone please help?
I want to add functionality into my WAD template to enable users adding results rows on a selected characteristic, at a single mouse click. Currently they need to go to the menu -> properties -> characteristic -> display results -> always -> ok. That's five clicks of a mouse (provided they know were to go).
I want to add this option to the basic menu so that they can click once only.
What I have managed to figure out so far using SAP help is the following. I have added a Script Item into my WAD Layout and added the following line of code in the Script Editing window:
sapbi_addToMenu("Add totals", "alternate_context_menu", "X","CHARACTERISTIC", "", "bottom", "", "")
It worked fine in that it added an extra item "Add totals" to my menu when I righclick on a characteristic. So far so good. However, I have no idea what function I should be using here, or how to code it. Surely WAD uses some function to perform this action, something that I could reuse? Is there a library somewhere of all the function used in WAD?
Can anyone please help with the code?
Many thanks,
Agata

Hiya again,
I have managed to partially solve this problem by using the following code. However it requires me to define on which characteristic the function is performed. In this case I have managed to get it working on 0PROJECT, but I want it to be ANY characteristic which has been right clicked?
Any ideas how I can pass the characteristic name as a VARIABLE, whose value would be read automatically when menu is triggered?
/* Add Contextmenu entries */
sapbi_addToMenu("Add totals", "JS_SET_RESULT_VISIBILITY_R", "X","CHARACTERISTIC", "", "bottom", "", "")

* @param defaultCommandSequence - the initially used sequence of commands that
*       would have been used instead of the custom
*       script.

Need JavaScript help please!

Hey guys im just learning javascript and im having a small amount of trouble. its just one problem.
in a javascript script i need to use prompt to get a line of text from the user and it the output of the program needs to be the words of the inputed text, but in alphabetical order. i know i need to use the sort method, and i am pretty sure i need to use the slice method as well to turn the input into a string? i do not know how to structure it though, any help would be great!
Also i would need to add a second input request to the user to select either "ascending" or "descending" which would determine how to sort the input words. would i just give the sort method a parameter?
Thank you for any feedback ahead of time!!

Java and javascript are not the same at all. Go to [W3Schools.com|http://www.w3schools.com/] or [Google.com|http://www.google.com/] to get your answers
