Show/Hide Layers

Report · Oct 19, 2006

I have a page that has a verticle list of topics and a show/hide behavior applied to provide more detailed information to the end user. The problem is that when you scroll down the page and then click on the link to show the hidden layer, it shows the layer but it also snaps back up to the top of the page so you have to scroll back down to view the contents of the layer. The same thing happens when you close the layer. Anybody have any thoughts. Thanks.

Rule 1 -

Never apply behaviors/events directly to <p> tags -

<p class="style2"
onclick="MM_showHideLayers('Layer1','','show')"><strong>Allied World
Assurance Company</strong>

That's not going to work reliably. All behaviors/events should be applied
to <a> tags (mostly), like this -

<a href="#" onclick="MM_showHideLayers('awa','','show')">more</a>

Rule 2 -

When you use "#" links, add a return false to the behavior call, e.g., -

<a href="#" onclick="MM_showHideLayers('awa','','show');return
false">more</a>

Now you're cooking with gas....
