Can onopenclose() cause a main content area to disappear/appear?

1) Accordion Content script (v1.6)

2) http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordion.htm

3) Describe problem:

I would like the action of a user opening a header up to change which <div> is displayed in the main content area. The idea is that when the page loads, all accordiaons are closed and the main text displays a separate paragraph (ie a separate <div> section) relevent to each header. When a header is clicked to open it, only its its relevent paragraph remains displayed in the maintext area. The accordion's links then act as normal.

Certainly. What you put inside onopenclose() is not limited to just code that affects the menu itself, and outside of it as well.

In your case, try giving each header a unique ID, such as "header1", then for the corresponding paragraph, a ID based on the former so the two can easily be linked together, such as "para-header1". Then inside your onopenclose() event, do something like:


onopenclose:function(header, index, state, isuseractivated){ //custom code to run whenever a header is opened or closed
var paraid="para" + header.id
document.getElementById(paraid).style.display=(state=="block")? "block" : "none"
}

What the above does is expand or hide paragraph "para-headerx" based on the corresponding header's own state.

Made the changes as you suggested and it all works well, doing exactly what I needed. Until the client asks for yet another "small change.......".
Thanks again for a great facility, made brilliant by your quick and helpful answers.
