fold out with javascript?

[helohelo]

hello,
I look for a way to display a questionmark button under some kind of submissionbutton. When pushing the questionmark button the page unfold and the explanation is showed, in the page, so no popup. Ihave seen it many times but cannot find it now. Please help!

You could use the onClick event of the question mark button to show a div that was previously hidden.

[helohelo]

yes but is the other text then "pushed" down?
I dont think so, or is it?

[Purple Martin]

I imagine it would be, but there's only one way to find out: try it and see!

[helohelo]

ok,
Iam a table rooky, more into layers.
Can you give me an example html of what you propose?
I would highly appriciate that!

This isn't a table thing, it's a layer thing! (By layer I mean <div>, not the old N4 <layer>)...

...your div with the explanation should start off as hidden:

<div id="myDivID" style="visibility:hidden;">
Here is the explanation text.
</div>

...in the onClick of the button, call a JavaScript function:

onClick="showMyThing()"

...in the head of the document (inside script tags) you put your JavaScript function (the if statement is there because IE references objects with document.all whereas good browsers use document.getElementByID):

function showMyThing() {
if (document.all) {
document.all["myDivID"].style.visibility = "visible" // for IE
} else {
document.getElementByID("myDivID")"].style.visibility = "visible" // good browsers
}
}
