I'm trying to apply a show-hide to a DIV that is inside a repeat region.

The problem is that only the first record of the repeat region seams to work properly, on all others theres no such think as hide show. Why?

here is the link:

Hope someone can help me out here.


Thanks,

Let's make a resume of all this:

OBJECTIVE OF THIS "BIG" POST:
Make a show/hide details button inside a repeat region, so when user click on that button the details of that specific record inside the repeat region appear and disapear. (toggle).

WHAT WAS NOT WORKING?


1)
PROBLEM:
The effect (in the effects menu of dreamweaver) despite the fact that we click on toggle option, he DON'T toggle at all.

SOLUTION:
There is know bug in Spry effects.js file. We need to update the .js file so the .js can toggle.
Get it here: http://www.cristic.ro/samples/SpryEffects.js
Thanks Marin.

2)
PROBLEM:
The effect only happens on the first record, nothing happens on the other!
SOLUTION:
Sugestion from Joris:
Apply a php counter.



3)PROBLEM:
The initial state of the "details div" is SHOW but we need them to be HIDE. (so the details show, only when user whats to see them).
SOLUTION MISSED:
Apply a CSS like this:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#div_name<?php echo $counter; ?> { display: none; }
-->
</style>

Why? (don't know, maybe because we can't apply a dynamic div name inside a CSS or maybe because I don't know how to do it)

SOLUTION THAT WORK:
Suggested by Joris again:
Apply to eatch particular div that you want to hide (since we have a repeat region it will be only one)
and apply at that div the style="display:none" property.



THANKS A LOT!!!!! JORIS!!! REALLY!!!!
Thanks for your time, your patience and, your lessons. :)

Can't you just hide all your divs via CSS by default?
<div id="...." style="display:none;"></div>

Ok. I have put the counter back to 0.
And he starts hidding, but he only hides the first record.
I think its normal because I said:
<body onload="hidediv('div_name1');">

I have tried this code hoping that he will do this for all divs:
<body onload="hidediv('div_name<?php echo $counter; ?>');">

But he does not do for any of them.

How can we solve this?




"And ... the first time the page is loaded (before submitting the form)
there's no div's at all... "

Yes they are, but are hidden. This means that they aren't ?
If thats the case, how can we avoid the initial error?

Thanks

There is no div_name1 it starts at div_name2, I think you misinterpreted
Mick's reply to set the counter to 1 initially, however, you increment it by
1 BEFORE you reference it in the id atribute, so it starts at 2, move the
incrementation code to just before the end of the repeat region, or start at
0

And ... the first time the page is loaded (before submitting the form)
there's no div's at all...

I have done what you said but now he returns a error saying:
Object Required in Line 11.
And in line 11 I have this:
document.getElementById(div_name).style.display="none";

(no quotes like you said).

You need to enclose the name of the div in quotes when you call the function

onLoad="hidediv('div_name1');"

<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleDiv(id) {
var el = document.getElementById(id);
//this if/else may look weird to you, google for "ternary operation"
el.style.display=(el.style.display=="block") ? "none" : "";
}
</script>
Settting display to "" makes the function available to all "id'd" elements.
And comments (<!-- //-->) within function definitions are not
recommended. It hides the definition from browsers that use the XHTML DTD
