////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Show/Hide With a Slide Script // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // This little script allows you to create a section of content and hide it at // the top of your screen for users to open and close as they wish. This is // particularly handy for things like login boxes, supplementary navigation // and content enhancements like tips, tricks and interesting tidbits of // information you don't need showcased within your regular content. // // If a visitor has JavaScript disabled or unavailable, the hidden content box // will simply display itself as if it was always a visible component. // // CONTRIBUTORS: // // Original Creator: // Paul Hirsch // www.paulhirsch.com // // Tested by: // International Web Developers Network (IWDN) // www.iwdn.net - home page // www.iwdn.net/index.php - forums/community where testing took place // // Other Contributors: // Michaeljohn Clement - clued me in on offsetHeight - very handy! // [INSERT YOUR NAME AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION HERE] // // INSTRUCTIONS: // // 1. Place this markup in an external .js page and link to it within the // section of your page. // // 2. Create a div within your page to wrap around the content you wish to hide. // You'll place your hidden content in here. The div MUST be in the following // format:

, where: // // a. "foo" is any word of your choice. // b. "-#" is any number between "-1" and "-9". // c. class ALWAYS equals "hidden". // // The "-#" sets the speed at which the box shows/hides itself, with 1 // being slowest and 9 fastest. If you forget to add your speed number // or add it incorrectly, the script will default to 5. // // Here's a proper example: // // // 3. Add onclick="toggle();" and id="toggle" to whatever element you'd like // to use to toggle the hidden content box. MAKE THE TOGGLED // OBJECT/TEXT/BUTTON display:none WITHIN YOUR STYLESHEET! The script will // unhide it. This is so it will not show up when someone has JavaScript // disabled. // // Here's a proper example: // // // 4. Add onload="setup();" to your tag. // // LICENSE: // // This script is protected under General Public License (GPL).
