hiding EHTML

chucklardo

hi there,

I've created a JS function that will show or hide a <div> when you click a button...
(display = "none" / display = "block")

I've populated the content of the div with conditional content using EHTML
i.e:

<? if (somestatement==true){
$html =<<< EHTML
<tr>
<td>content here</td>
</tr>
EHTML;
echo $html;
}
?>

</div>

The problem is that anything i output in the div will not hide, no matter what i do.

Is this a known issue with EHTML?

any help or info appreciated....

cheers,
Mitch.

No, nothing to do with EHTML any more than it would have anything to do with any other string you pick for the delimiter. The problem will be with your client-side code, since that's all that the browser ever sees.

Excuse me for my blondeness, but what the f--- is "EHTML"?!?!?

There isn't anything wrong with the client side code,
I have it on the same page turning other div's on and off.

I used one of these working div's and wrote some ehtml into it - guess what happened - irt stopped working 🙂

cheers,
Mitch.

I understand heredoc - why is he calling it "EHTML"?

The problem here is you're trying to hide table rows within the div - been there, tried that and it don't work. You can put the div around a whole table and hide that. I even did some experiments hiding child tags of the div, but it worked in IE and not Fox, so ditched it.

You can also take a <tr> or <td> tag and give them styles of visibility: hidden, which would achieve the same effect (hiding table cells) without using <div> tags. However, be in for a shock if when the cells are unhidden, the page layout changes.
