CourseLab and JavaScript

[Eve]

Hi!I can't finish my GIMP introducing video - there is necessary to write JavaScript. Can anyone help to write such code:20 objects must be hidden and one is showed which user click.I have understand, that I have to define objects OBJ_1 - OBJ_20, then I have to tell that function hide() must all this objects hidden and call function hide(). And OBJ_21 display=show. But how I can this write?Thank you,Eve

You would give each a unique identifier (id=""), and then use Javascript's DOM to show/hide. Have a link such like the following for each object you want to toggle.

<a href="java script:void(0);" onclick="showhide('THEID')">show object #OBJECT_NUMBER</a>

Then a JS function something like:

function showhide(targetId){   var targetElement = document.getElementById(targetId).style;   targetElement.display = (targetElement.display == "none") ? "block" : "none";}

If you want them hidden by default in JS enabled browsers then toggle them all into display:none; on the page load.EDIT: made my explanation a bit clearer.

Please show us the HTML page in question. The original text of your assignment would also help.EDIT: That is, if Elliot didn't answer your question. BTW, you can just pass the actual element (this) rather than the id - whether you put the onclick in the HTML or (preferably) the JS.

Is it so, that I have to define every single object with array?

var objektid = new Array();objektid[0] = OBJ_1;

or how I can give each a unique identifier?Every slide have 10-23 objects (balloons, that explain GIMP menu) and define with array means objektid[321]=OBJ_322.

CourseLab - GIMP - IEFirst slide I have make so, that I write 15 x

Display (Object='OBJ_n,Display='Show')

and 210 x I write

Display (Object='OBJ_n,Display='Hide')

I think it is possible to write less and result is same - user can see only one text.
