Expand / Collapse FIELDSET

I wrote simple code for expandable/collapsable fieldsets. You can try it yourselves:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<style type="text/css">

<!--

a { color:blue; cursor:pointer; }

-->

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

function constructCollapsableFieldsets() 

{

    var allFsets = document.getElementsByTagName('fieldset');

    var fset = null;

    for (var i=0; i<allFsets.length; i++)

    {

        fset = allFsets[i];

        if(fset.attributes['collapsed']!=null)

            constructCollapsableFieldset(fset, fset.attributes['collapsed'].value);

    }

}
 
//for collapsable fieldset:

function constructCollapsableFieldset(fset, collapsed)

{

    //main content:

    var divContent = fset.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];

    if (divContent == null)

        return;

        divContent.style.display = 'none';

        div.style.display = 'none';

    }

    else

    {

        ahref.innerHTML=getExpanderItem('false');

        div.style.display = '';

    }

}

</script>

</head>
 
<body onLoad="constructCollapsableFieldsets();">
 
<fieldset collapsed="true">

    <legend>Bububu</legend>

    <div>

        This is collapsable fieldset with caption (legend).

        Fieldset is initially collapsed.

    </div>

</fieldset>

<br />

<fieldset collapsed="false">

    <div>

        This is collapsable fieldset with no caption (legend).

        Fieldset is initially expanded.

    </div>

</fieldset>

<br />

<fieldset>

<legend>Look here</legend>

<div>

    This fieldset is not collapsable.. 

    To set it collapseble is needed to type

    &lt;fieldset collapsed="false" ...

    or &lt;fieldset collapsed="true" ...

</div>

</fieldset>

</body>

Not bad. A few hints if I may:

* try using classes, not attributes. This will allowed the document to be validated for HTML/javascript. eg class="fieldset_collapsed" : )

* try using unobtrusive javascript, a seperate .JS file with all functions in one object.

* if there is no inner DIV, let your javascript create it, instead of returning. Saves the programmer from having to add a silly DIV each time. Or just always create one, if that's easier.

Nice work tho!
