How many tricks to ...

[shachi]

Can anyone post some tricks for making something like a toggle button?? Like a link which does two actions(onclick). If you click it once it expands a div and if you click again it contracts. I have been trying to do that for ages but what I found was one of the scripts in w3schools which is sth like:

var cc=0;
if(cc=0){
cc=1;
//do something
} else {
cc=0;
//do something
}

If anyone has any other tricks then please post them in this thread.

If the actions set a variable, all you have to do is check that one.

I think NTL (big British broadband provider, similar to AOL in America) have decided it's Experience Life as a Snail week -- my connection currently measures at 715 bytes per second. Anyway...

You can also toggle the whole event:

<button id="btn">A button</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleOn() {
  // do something
  this.onclick = toggleOff;
}

function toggleOff() {
  // do something else
  this.onclick = toggleOn;
}

document.getElementById("btn").onclick = toggleOn;
</script>

All depends on what you want to do and what else you've got to measure by.
