Open and close DIV area with JS and PHP

[Aknot]

Hi everyone!

I have this simple Javascript to open and close div areas.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function showDiv(theDiv) {
var elem = document.getElementById(theDiv);
elem.style.display = (elem.style.display == "none")? "" : "none";
}
</script>

Now I want to be able to open a div area, when sending a GET, eg /file.php?showDiv=5642

I have several divs on the same page, and when entering this page from special link, I want to be able to open that div area. Based on id.

Is that possible? Hope tou understand what I mean...
Thanks!

do you have the code where you attach your showDiv function, is it bind to a certain object closure?

Hi,

This is what I have

<div id="<?php echo($row['id']); ?>" style="display:none;>Some Text bla bla</div>

<a href="#" onclick="showDiv('<?php echo($row['id']); ?>');return false;">Show</a>

Thanks

Hi!

Try to put on your page where divs are something like this:

<?
if($_GET) {
if($_GET['some id which tells the page which div to show']) echo"<script type='text/javascript'>showDiv(div to show);</script>";
}
?>

It works for me. I have this in the bottom of the page.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, it should be like this:

<?
if($_GET) {
if($_GET['your id']=='value which tells the page which div to show') echo"<script type='text/javascript'>showDiv(div to show);</script>";
}
?>

<?
if($_GET) {
if($_GET['your id']=='value which tells the page which div to show') echo"<script type='text/javascript'>showDiv(div to show);</script>";
}
?>

Works great!
Thanks A L
