Show/hide elements

Hi
In DW8 I often used the possibility to put several layers on
top of eachother with images in them, this way I could show/hide
layers so the images would be visible when having a mouse-over
action on a thumbnail for example.
Now DW-CS3 gives the option show/hide elements, however, I
can not simply put elements on top of eachother, which is what I
want.
Am I stuck on using DW8 and the show/hide layers option, or
is there a way to put multiple images (elements) on top of
eachother in DW-CS3?
Thanks, have a nice day

The functionality is identical in CS3, just the terms have
changed.
Layers (8) = AP Divs (CS3)
Show/Hide Layers (8) = Show/Hide Elements (CS3)
Go to the AP Elements panel (F2 or Window > AP Elements)
and ensure that 1)
all AP Elements are stacked on top of each other (ie there
are no child
elements which are shown by the name being indented in the
list); 2) each
Element has a unique Z index (if not re-number them manually
so they're
unique).
Then apply the Show-Hide Elements behavior to each AP
Element.

Show/hide elements in DW CS3

I've just posted this question and got a reply from John
Waller, thanks John, but what I mean is that I don't want to use
layers, this has to do with the positioning in a table. I want to
add images to a table which is in a layer so I can put margin-left
and margin-right for the layer to "auto" so the whole table
(including images) will always be centered. If I add layers to the
table and add images to the layers (to get the mouse-over effect)
the layers will not move with the table to the center of the page,
I hope you guys know what I mean.
Anybody knows if it would be possible in DW CS3 to do so, see
the original question underneath to get the picuture:
Thanks again.

You don't need to use a 'layer' for that, and I assume that
you mean a <div>
not a layer, since the latter implies absolute positioning.
> If I add layers to the table
I sure hope you are referring to just div tags and not
layers, because you
would never want to put an absolutely positioned element
directly into a
table cell.

Yes, I'm afraid I do. This whole scheme is just wrong.
It would be much better to use the SetText behavior to simply
dynamically
write the desired image link into a named container on the
page, much like
you can see being done here -

Help with Show/Hide Elements please!

I'm using the show/hide elements behavior for the first time and I'm not sure if it's working right. Am I supposed to be able to preview this feature, either in a browser or in Live View? It's not working in either, but I didn't know if the site had to actually be live for it to work or not.
Also, my div is set to display:none; and I didn't know if that is correct, or if I should set a Z-index on all of them.
Thank you!

Am I supposed to be able to preview this feature, either in a browser or in Live View?
Yes - it should work in both.
Also, my div is set to display:none; and I didn't know if that is correct, or if I should set a Z-index on all of them.
That could be the problem - show/hide toggles the visibility attribute between 'visible' and 'hidden'. If the element is styled with display:none, even when it's visible it won't be displayed. So, get rid of the display style, and just use the visibility one. The default z-index is "1", so depending on your layout and the desired interaction with these elements, you may need to adjust your z-index as well.

Show-Hide element in Dreamweaver CS5

Please can you tell me why when I validate a web page I get the following error when using the Show-Hide behaviour. The error is only reported for the first use of the feature and no of the others. I don't understand.
Line 239,         Column 235:     there is no attribute "onload"…HideLayers('drive','','hide')" onload="MM_showHideLayers('drive','','hide')" /…
✉
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the       document type you are using does not support that attribute for this       element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"       document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use       the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or       by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this       is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in       the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no       supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error       message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,        (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or        check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or       use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the        <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the        FAQ item on valid flash.
Below is a copy of the relevant code -The code in bold is the line causing the error. You will notice I have used it more than once, but I didn't get any other error messages. Please help.

Sometimes DW's javascripts will throw errors like that, most of the time it can be ignored.
What doctype are you using (the first line of your html)?
If you have a "Strict" Doctype, did you try changing it to a "Transitional" version as the error report suggested?

Show / Hide Elements - how to make hidden elements non-interactive

Hi,
Is there a way to make hidden obejcts (through 'Show / Hide') not only hidden but completely non-interactive? I.e. even if an image is hidden, it is still click-able, which will release its set commandos (such as 'Swap Image' or 'Set Text of Container').

Thanks a bunch! I haven't started out with the code yet. Just made some sketches to see what I need to research etc.
When I get around to it, I'll get back to you!

Show/hide element

On this test page,
http://www.talkitup4free.com/test,
when you click the register link, i use a div for the pop up. but i
want it to pop up in more than just a specified pixels placement.
when you click on it, i want it to automatically center on the
page.

<p
onclick="MM_showHideLayers('register','','show')">Click here to
register.</p>
That's not going to work - you cannot reliably attach events
to anything
other than anchor tags. Change that to this -
<p><a href="#"
onclick="MM_showHideLayers('register','','show');return
false">Click here to register.</p>
(of course, either way means that your register option won't
work at all for
someone with js disabled)
Also, you have placed an absolutely positioned element
directly into a table
cell - that's a bad thing to do from the get-go, as has been
posted here
many times. Change your markup to this -
<table width="50%" border="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><p>Website</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="#"
onclick="MM_showHideLayers('register','','show');return
false">Click here to register.</p>
<p>Text</p>
<p> </p>
<p>More text...</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
<div id="register">
<p>Register Page Goes Here</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Name:
<label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
</label>
</p>
<p>E-mail:
<label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
</label>
</p>
</div>
Which will bring your AP div OUT OF THE TABLE.
You will need a <form> tag for the form input elements
to function at all.
So don't forget that.
Finally, you can position the AP div with left="40%" to give
you a centering
effect, or with no position values at all, and auto
left/right margins,
e.g.,
#register {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
height:115px;
z-index:1;
margin:0 auto;
visibility: hidden;
But whether this works as desired would depend on how you
build the rest of
the page.

Show/Hide Element Dreamweaver

I have the numbers "1 2 3" set up on a page to change a image and text when you click on each number. It works fine but I am not able to figure out how i can get the numbers to stay a specific color to indicate that this is the image you are viewing, a kind of "you are here" state.
Any ideas?
http://www.dinahsite.dananealdesigns.com/index3.html
Many thanks,
Houston

You will not be able to do this easily since you have so many functions wired into those numbers. The notion would be that you would have to also swap a class assignment on each number's span when one of the numbers is clicked to persist that particular number in a 'clicked' state, and to reset the other numbers to the unclicked state. But not only would I not do things the way you have on this page, I also would not want to add that markup to this already busy element.
By the way, you might want to check your validation - you have reused an ID value on the page.

"Show Hide Elements" movie Clips continue to play

I've put a bunch of AP Div tags on a page with video links,
once one begins to play it continues after another thumnail is
clicked. So, a user can soon be bombarded with audio from 8
different clips playing all at once, because once one begins
playing, it seems to not "hide" or cease to play as it should.
The URL in question is found here, but you have to click the
link for more demo reel stuff to load the page I'm trying to work
on:
http://www.knappmediaproductions.com/portfolio.htm
Remember, click where on the page it says: "More varied
examples of Demo work seen here" to open the page I'm dealing with.
Is there code of some kind to shut all those clips down when
the layer they are on is hiding?

I understand that you can remove one parent instead of many
children in this way, which is good from an efficiency standpoint.
Beyond that, I was ideally looking for a way to basically "freeze"
the action on Frame A and return to it. I assume that, even with a
parent-child scenario, I would still need to loop through all of
the children and save their states (because just checking the
parent attributes isn't going to get at this information). I was
just asking if there was any easier way. It would be nice to be
able to go to another frame - maybe on another level - and then
come back to Frame A and pick up where I left off - just hopeful
thinking, I guess.

Show Hide Element Problem

i am are trying to do something that can be achieved with
Javascript.
<script language="javascript">
function showHideComment(onOff){
if (onOff == 1){
document.getElementById('commentArea').style.display = "";
} else {
document.getElementById('commentArea').style.display =
"none";
</script>
<input type="radio" name="comment1" value="1"
onClick="showHideComment(this.value);"> On <br/>
<input type="radio" name="comment1" value="0"
onClick="showHideComment(this.value);"> Off
<cfoutput query="showcomment">
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center"
id="commentArea">
<tr>
<td>Subject:</td>
<td><b
class="sidebar">#subject#</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
</cfoutput>
but problem lies here when it:
hides only one Section of Comments, What about if i had more
than 10 comments.
i tried changes the variables but no luck
plz help

Hi,
Just put your <cfoutput query> statement below the
<table> tag (that is before the start of <tr> tag and
it will do that..
<cfquery name="showcomment" datasource="dav">
select * from ttest;
</cfquery>
<script language="javascript">
function showHideComment(onOff){
if (onOff == 1){
document.getElementById('commentArea').style.display = "";
} else {
document.getElementById('commentArea').style.display =
"none";
</script>
<input type="radio" name="comment1" value="1"
onClick="showHideComment(this.value);"> On <br/>
<input type="radio" name="comment1" value="0"
onClick="showHideComment(this.value);"> Off
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center"

Custom web part with ontextual tab - show/hide on focus

Hi,
I built a webpart that has a contextual ribbon tab and buttons, this webpart is added to a wiki page. When the wiki page is in edit mode I would like this custom ribbon tab to be shown or hidden depending on whether my webpart is clicked.
Great thanks, if you can show me the right direction.

Hi,
To show/hide the ribbon tab depending on the click event of the web part, a workaround is that we can use JavaScript to achieve it.
With JavaScript, we can capture the click event of one web part in a page and show/hide with the help of the corresponding JavaScript function.
Here are some links will provide more information:
onclick Event
Toggle (Show/Hide) Element
Feel free to reply if there are still any questions.

Show/hide layers no mouseover option

I have MX (2004) and am trying to create a simple show/hide
layer behavior on some thumbnails/main images and it is just not
working for me. The behavior has the show/hide option, but it does
not show the arrows active to choose the mouseover and other
events. I have the 'show 4.0 browsers and later' box
checked...anyone know what else it could be? Is there a simple code
I can drop in (I'm an artist, not a programmer, so be gentle)? Any
immediate help at [email protected] would be very much
appreciated!

Do you actually have any layers on the page. You need to put
a layer on
the page first and then apply the show-hide layer behaviour.

How to Show/hide the UI Elements in a WD Application

Hi,
I need to show/hide and control other properties such as required, readonly etc from UI.
Can somebody please tell me how I can do that as I am able to save and retrieve the fields from another UI, now the need is to apply them once the Application starts.
Thanks,
Rachit

Hi,
To show/hide UI elements follow below procedure.
1) define a attribute(VISIBLE in this case) element in the context of type WDUI_VISIBILITY
2) in the UI element properties(Visible) bind the above attribute with the element you want to make visible/Hide.
3) call below method to hide the UI element
    wd_context->set_attribute(
     EXPORTING
       name = 'VISIBLE'
       value = cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-none ).
4)     wd_context->set_attribute(
     EXPORTING
       name = 'VISIBLE'
       value = cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-visible ). for display.
You have to call these method at the right spot.
Thanks,
Sree.

Using an array to show/hide multiple elements?

I have two elements that need to be hidden:
"mov-imp"
"mov-pim"
Currently, I am doing this:
var arr = ["mov-imp", "mov-pim"];
// This is the onclick function
sym.$.each(arr, function(){
                    $(this).hide();
What's the best way to show/hide multiple elements/symbols in AE?
Thanks!

Hi Ashish, here is how you can hide all symbols in an array on button click. I'm not sure what you're asking in your second post, if you can clarify that.
Example:
www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/arrays_hide_objects
Source:
www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/_source/arrays_hide_objects.zip
Code on button.click event:
// if this button stays at root, you can just call sym.hideObjects();
// this is in case you nest your button inside other symbols
sym.getComposition().getStage().hideObjects();
Code on Stage.compositionReady:
var arr = ["obj1", "obj2"];
sym.hideObjects = function(){
          $.each(arr, function(index, value) {
                    sym.$(value).hide();

How to show/hide div based on mysql value

I have a dataset that has a column 'locked' that is a boolean that I want to use to remove a button on a form. The idea being that it will be set to 1 after a period of time thus removing the buttun that links to an update form and preventing the data from being changed. Currently, I have the field linked to a check box at the top of the table. How do I use this to hide the button (or any other html element for that matter) when set to 1 and show the element when set to 0? I understand I need to creat a php variable from the mysql boolean and then use a if/else loop to hide/display the html but I don't know how to impliment this? Thanks for any help offered.

Thanks for your help, nearly worked but only returned results where the if statement was met ie where locked =0, so I used an additional statement to display something else when when locked=1
<?php
if($row_spec_rx['locked'] == 1) {
echo "button html goes here";
?>
<?php
if($row_spec_rx['locked'] == 0) {
echo "something else";
?>
I am sure there must be a more elegant way of doing this!

Robo v9 Show/Hide without Twisties - One button no longer working

Hey there, as stated I am using Robo v9 with Show/Hide without Twisties (One button) with javascipts. We have most of our images using DHTML drop-downs and when folks click on "Show All Images" on the page, the GIF changes to "Hide All Images" and all drop-downs (our images) and expanding text are diaplayed.
It had been working all the time, but now it only works when I right click the topic in the TOC and choose "Edit Topic", then while in the Edit Window (Display view), when I do a View (Ctrl-W) and it displays the page within RoboHelp..I can click the "Show All Images" and it works like it always had. BUT, if that page is not in the Edit Window, and I right click "Preview Topic", the click "Show All Images" (or on the DHTML dropdown itself) it will NOT show the images, *but the GIF image does properly toggle to "Hide All Images" (and if I do again, then it properly toggles to the "Show All Images" GIF, if I do it again), but now NO images are getting displayed for some reason. It also NEVER works properly when I publish to our website (even when clicking the DHTML dropdown itself), but the GIF images toggle properly.
If I right click and choose "Preview Topic" and click "View With" and use Internet Explorer 8 it still never works anymore, unless the topic is in the Edit Window (Display View), so I know the issue is not on the server. It stops working after I do a generate and run on my pc. Also when I view it IE8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), many instances of the same error is shown as:
Message: Access is denied.
Line: 2646
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: file:///D:/Users/_RBH9_TPO-Generate/v9-testing/ehlpdhtm.js
...but I *do* have access to the folder system, but in checking the coding of the ehlpdhtm.js, that area show, where I believe line 2646, character 3 starts at the "values = getAttribute(element, prop );" line below...but maybe something does not exist:
==
//End HTML code invoked function
function InitEffect( element, prop )
var values = null;
if( getAttribute(element,prop))
values = getAttribute(element, prop );
else if( getAttribute( element, "currentStyle" ) && element.currentStyle.getAttribute)
values = element.currentStyle.getAttribute( prop );
else if (element.style.getAttribute)
values = element.style.getAttribute( prop );
if( !values )
return;
var functions = new Array();

I have a much older backup when restored, it all works properly again in all cases, but I have done so much work since then that I think would need to be manually redone. I have played with keeping those some javascipts alone (in case I changed something) and updated the rest of the data files I had added, deleted the .CPD file, but it somehow stops working again, probably with some updated file. I am not sure what specific files could be causing the negative impact that is preventing it from working. Maybe if I knew what files could impact, I couldrestore those from my old backup. The newer backups when restored do not work properly, so there was a point in time where something changed and is causing this.
All prior versions of RoboHelp (v7 and v8) have always worked and still do. I am using v9.0.1.262, as the latest version has not yet been allowed on our pcs (per security), but since my earlier backup works, I thought it may not be the issue, but wanted to tell you anyway. ;->
Any ideas on how I should proceed? What files may have impact to cause it not to work anymore? The showhide.js is the only .js to show up as a baggage file. Also, the DHTML line does exits in each html page's code, as we are still using Robo v7 as the production software and the Show/Hide always works, and I copy them into the respective Robo v9 folders (and if new, then I copy them, then import them), otherwise the newer v7 updated pages are copied over the older v9 html files while RoboHelp is closed.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

I may have figured out what to fix to get v9 back to working on the Show/Hide button, but not the "why?" .
It looks to all be dealing with the Robo automatic html coding of where to locate the .js file(s)...here is a quick overview of this issue and what I did. When I view the non-working pages within Internet Explorer 8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), I saw many instances of the same error is shown as this in the log, which implied since I *do* have access rights, maybe the file was just not being found.
Message: Access is denied.

OK, here are my findings. EXAMPLE #1 and EXAMPLE #2 below are excerpts of the same file. EXAMPLE #1 is from Robo v7 and is copied to the v9 folder after it was updated so our soon to be "production" webhelp will be from Robo v9 (instead of making the same manual updates in Robo v9 as in Robo v7, I copy the updated the .html file to the Robo v9 file system). Note the direction of the directory slashes of the java scripts listed below, as they are all DOS type slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for ehlpdhtm.js as it is the ONLY one using UNIX (forward) slashes.
EXAMPLE #1 (from Robo v7)
==
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="..\..\sty-std-topic.css">
<script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript x-save-method=compute-relative
src="..\..\showhide.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<robohelp><script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2 src="../../ehlpdhtm.js"
x-save-method=compute-relative></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2>

</script>
==
EXAMPLE #2(from Robo v9)
This is from the restored backup of the Robo v9 files that always work when I restore them, and note they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes. These backup files were generated from Importing/Upgrading a copy of the Robo v7 files into Robo v9.
++
<title>[Endpoint Protection] Symantec Overview</title>
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
</script><?rh-script_end ?>
++
Additional info: The following is from another file from the Robo v9 backup files that always WORK and once again they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes.
~~
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
</script><?rh-script_end ?>
~~
BUT since all .js files are referenced in EXAMPLE #1 have DOS slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for the ehlpdhtm.js, I decided to change the line in ehlpdhtm.js FROM src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" TO src="..\..\ehlpdhtm.js" and IT (this one page) BEGAN WORKING AGAIN after I published. So having all DOS back slashes DOES work in Robo v9!!!! BUT it appears that Robo v9 only generates new pages using UNIX (forward) slashes in ALL coding. I've read about issues like this occurring with the FireFox browser, but we only use IE8, and have not read anything like this related to IE8 issues.
So if all UNIX forward slashes and all DOS back slashes can work in Robo v9 in finding and using ehlpdhtm.js, (the Show/Hide buttons function properly) why is this problem existing in Robo v9 when there are mixed "slashes" (using forward and backward)? ...and the mixed slashes ALWAYS works in Robo v7! They do not have to all be in the same direction in Robo v7 as it appears to have to be in the newer/more advanced Robo v9. Why does it matter that all slashes need to be all the same direction, if Robo v9 CAN actually read and figure out the DOS back slashes (formatted by Robo v7 creation) and actually generates UNIX forward slashes for the .js files in new Robo v9 output within the .html?
More importantly will I have to always do a Global search and replace in Robo v9 to change the direction of the "back slashes" when I copy updated Robo v7 .html files into the Robo v9 folders (instead of manually reworking each change), while in transition from v7 to v9?
Thanks in advance any information, recommendations, and feedback as your time is greatly appreciated!
