I have several tags on a webpage of the same class. If the user clicks a
specific checkbox I'd like to be able to alter the display property of the
class, affecting all objects of that class.
This is an intranet application so we know that javascript will be enabled
and the browser will be IE.
How can I affect all the members of this class? Is there a way I can toggle
the DISPLAY property of a class so all the elements using that class would
be affected?
ie:
default.css file contains the following and is included into the HTLM
document:
.topicone { display:none; }
.topictwo { display:none; }
Relevant section of HTML code:
<input type="checkbox" onclick="flip('topicone')'">Show me information
about topic one.<br>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="flip('topictwo')'">Show me information
about topic two.<br>
<p>Please see the following:</p>
<p> Quick Points </p>
<p class="topicone">This is some information about topic one.</p>
<p class="topictwo">This is some information about topic two.</p>
<p> Details </p>
<p class="topicone">More information about topic one.</p>
<p class="topicone">More information about topic one.</p>
<p class="topictwo">This is some information about topic two.</p>
Not really enough information, but...IE-only:
