im trying to make something that will swap out text when you click on a link. check out this page:
http://msnbc.com/news/842500.asp about 3/4 of the way down.
i have been messing with the javascript on that site trying to figure it out, but its burried inside of many many many functions so im having a hardtime figuring it out.
here is where i have gotten from messing with their script:
PHP Code:
<script language=javascript>
function Swapcopy(dataname,nNextPg){
var oData = eval(dataname);
if (!oData.nCurPage) { oData.nCurPage = 0; }
if (nNextPg == oData.length) { nNextPg = 0; }
if (document.layers) {
var PopObj = eval("document.layers['poptext_" +dataname+ "']");
var PopObj2 = eval("document.layers['poptext_" +dataname+ "2']");
PopObj.layers[oData.nCurPage].visibility="hidden";
PopObj.layers[nNextPg].visibility="show";
if (PopObj2) {
PopObj2.layers[oData.nCurPage].visibility="hidden";
PopObj2.layers[nNextPg].visibility="show";
}
}
else if (oBr.ie4) {
var PopObj = eval("document.all.poptext_" +dataname)
var PopObj2 = eval("document.all.poptext_" +dataname+"2")
PopObj[oData.nCurPage].style.display="none";
if (nNextPg > -1) { PopObj[nNextPg].style.display=""; }
if (PopObj2) {
PopObj2[oData.nCurPage].style.display="none";
PopObj2[nNextPg].style.display="";
}
}
else if (oBr.ns6) {
var PopObj = eval("document.getElementById(\"poptext_" +dataname+"\").childNodes");
var PopObj2 = eval("document.getElementById(\"poptext_" +dataname+"2\")");
PopObj.item(oData.nCurPage).style.display="none";
PopObj.item(nNextPg).style.display="";
if (PopObj2) {
PopObj2.childNodes.item(oData.nCurPage).style.display="none";
PopObj2.childNodes.item(nNextPg).style.display="";
}
}
if (nNextPg > -1) { oData.nCurPage = nNextPg; }
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script language=javascript>
Products = new Array();
var i=0;
Products[i++] = "<b>Product 1:</b> This is product 1";
Products[i++] = "<b><b>Product 2:</b> This is product 2";
</SCRIPT>
<a href="javascipt:Swapcopy('Products',0);">Product 1 </a> <br>
<a href="javascipt:Swapcopy('Products',1);">Product 2 </a> <br>
