content swap/reval using CSS, <div> & Javascript - HOW???

[obwatter]

i'm trying to recreate what i *think* should be a simple CSS/JS <div> content reveal / swap.

just like this one ("A Tale of Two Pets", near bottom of page):

been trying to figure it out on my own for about 2 days now & have run out of ideas.

*** NOTE: my JS skills are currently limited to rollovers & pasting snippets written by "the javascript guy" who used to work in our office.


THANKS!!!

have you tried to right click on the current page and "view source" to see how they did it?

[obwatter]

yeah - tried that. they've used an external JS file (a few of them, actually) and even when i open the files, there's so much there - i'm not sure what to pull out....

;(

what is that called? When you click on the pic it changes....if you give me a name of what that function is called i should be able to help ya out.

[obwatter]

erm, no idea. i really am quite clueless. keep getting an error : "element has not been defined"...but i'm not sure what/how i should define.

all seems to revolve around showing or hiding the appropriate div following a 'click' event. here's a bit of the code:

[HTML]<div id="story1" class="story"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="Element.show('story2');Element.hide('stor y1');"></a>

<a href="javascript:;"onclick="Element.show('story2') ;Element.hide('story1');"></a>

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="Element.show('story2');Element.hide('stor y1');">

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="Element.show('story2');Element.hide('stor y1');"></a>
[/HTML]
thnx

Moved to the JavaScript forum where you'll get more help.
