Creating PHP & Javascript Knowledge Base

Need help with hiding and showing links

[wfernley]

Hi everyone.

Well I am trying to build a knowledge base in PHP and I will need to implement Javascript into it and I have no idea how. Basically what I am trying to accomplish is very similar to Symantec's Knowledge base. You have categories list with "+"'s next to them and when the user clicks either the category name or the plus sign the links within that category drop down. I was curious how I would do this in Javascript and if it would be hard to implement with PHP because it will need to be dynamic. I know nothing about Javascript so thats where I'm getting into trouble. If you want an idea of what I'm doing check out the Symantec Knowledge Base and you will see what I'm tryin to do.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Just a guess, as I haven't looked at the site you're talking about, but it may be an invisible div that is made visible through JS when you click on the plus.

Thank you for the replies :)

Yeah I actually found a tutorial like you spoke of with JS and CSS to do the trick.

If anyone needs the link send me a mail and I can provide it to you. I just have to figure out how to put mulitple levels on it though because it only allows one subcategory.

thanks again!
