Hiding - Displaying text

spstieng

I've ben looking, but have not found.

Is there a way to hide / display text in PHP?

What I want is text to display whenever I press a menuoption.
E.g. clicking 'About' in the left menu, will display some 'about' text within a table cell on the right side.

Any help appreciated.

I think what you want is actually javascript


<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" >

function flip(foo) {
  //document.getElementById(foo).style.visibility="hidden";
  if( document.getElementById(foo).style.display == "none") {
    document.getElementById(foo).style.display="block";
  } else {
    document.getElementById(foo).style.display="none";
  }
}

function show(foo) {
    document.getElementById(foo).style.display="block";
    return true;
}

function hide(foo) {
    document.getElementById(foo).style.display="none";
    return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>


<div id='menu1'  onMouseover="show('menu2'); return true;" >
Select Store

<div id='menu2' style="display:none;" onMouseOver="show('menu2'); return true;" onMouseout="hide('menu2'); return true;">
     &nbsp;Store One<br>
     &nbsp;Store Two<br>
     &nbsp;Store Three<br>
     &nbsp;Store Four<br>
 </div>


</div>

You have to be careful about browser sniffy. There is something called event bubbling that is a real pain in the neck because each browser impelements it just slightly differently, and it causes adverse affects in the desired behavior.
