Display only certain information in a page

107 100+

i have a page where i have name of my company staffs and is hyperlinked to another page where all the details of the staffs are present. I mean a page contains only the staffs name and in the other page, the details about all the staffs in order. Now when i click a staff name in the first page i want only the details of the particular staff to display in the second page. I dont want the whole lot of details about all staffs to display. How can i achieve this? My page is static in nature.

2 possibilities:
- purely static: make a page for each user
- dynamic: pass a parameter, which is used to identify the user and load only the details of that user (you may use Javascript if no server side script is possible, but it's not the best choice)

Yea i was expecting the javascript option. I have seen such achievable with javascript in action but i forgot where to find it. I dont find a particular key word to google it. Can you help me out?

Look into the style.display property (set to "block" to display and "none" to hide).

PS. moved to the JavaScript forum.

with element.style.* you have access to CSS properties of an element.

I think this is the solution.... your employees.html have links to emp_details.html

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<a href="emp_details.html#jsmith" rel="employee" target="_self">Mr. John Smith

</a><br/>

<a href="emp_details.html#sleon"  rel="employee" target="_self">Ms. Sandra Leon</a>

and your emp_details.html looks like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>Employee Detilas</title>

<style>

.hidden{

    display:none;

    visibility:hidden;

}

.shown{

    display:block;

    visibility:visible;

}

</style>

<script language="javascript">

    function showdetails(){

        var hash = window.location.hash;

        var emp;

        if(hash){

            emp = hash.substr(1);

            document.getElementById(emp).className = "shown";

        } else {

            alert("Please choose an employee to see details.");

        }

    }

</script>

</head>

<body>

<div id="jsmith" class="hidden">

<h1>John Smith</h1>

Emp ID : 1155646<br />

Des : Programmer<br />

Cat : CD01

</div>

<div id="sleon" class="hidden">

<h1>Sandra Leon</h1>

Emp ID : 1155647<br />

Des : Quality Controller<br />

Cat : QA07

</div>

<script language="javascript">

    showdetails();

</script>

</body>

</html>
