Making a text appear/dissapear (button [+] and [-])

[tarmstrong]

Hi.

I would like to create a [+] link next to a caption, and when user
clicks
it, a new text appears and [+] becomes [-].

And when users clicks [-], it becomes [+] and the text dissapears.

I don't remember which JavaScript property I must work with.
Thank you very much.

Hmmmmm, lets see.

You need the onclick.
You need the visibility property.

That about covers what you want, at a minimum.

You could expand it and use the images collection.
You could also expand it and use innerHTML.

But neither is required. It can be done with onclick and visibility.

use CSS DOM:

document.getElementById('myCaption').style.display ='none'
