question about hiding divs?

**elemental70** · Mar 24, 2007, 18:52

Hi guys! I'm redoing www.nyraju.com so its more compliant. Now if you take a look at the top menu and click a link you'll be directed to the main page for that sectiona nd simultaneously you'll see a submenu appear. I know I can riv a hidden div, but do I need to do multiple divs for each section? Or can someone point me to a possible faster solution?

Thanks guys!!

Why do you need to hide elements?

Just output different sub-navs for each section.

I'm curious, what do <div>s have to do with it?

Could you show me an example of what you mean? I thought of it this way b/c as you can see the sub menu only shows up when the main link is clicked?

Regarding the divs, I'm using the Web Designer's Reference as a , well reference and it looked like it would be a good idea.

Different sub-navs are coded into each page. (Hopefully server-side includes were used.) This has nothing to do with JavaScript.

I suggest you learn how semantics apply to X/HTML. Semantics is really a very important subject when it comes to X/HTML.

I'm not sure what you mean and could really use the help

Nope. The site was totally done is a program called Swish.

How would you handle this?

The main page gets the main menu. Then each section gets a sub-menu in addition to the main menu and all pages in that section get the sub-menu for that section. So two different sections will have different sub-menus.

I'd do this with some amount of PHP. Here's a tutorial on PHP includes. That site's server might not support PHP though.

There'd still be the issue of hiding the men till the link was clicked as well.

Here's an example of what I've been saying: http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com/...s-example.html

I'm curious, why are you so fixated on using JavaScript anyway?

I recommend you read up on JavaScript Best Practices.

Because I'm in a rush, I don't know what the host has and the guy wants it yesterday.

And I thought it would be the fastest way
