Open default

[DanMansfield]

1) Script Title: Switch Content

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...tchcontent.htm

3) Describe problem:
I have a load of content being generated dynamically via a database.
Everything about the script and the functionalitys work fine /Except/ trying to get the default open state to work.

I tried to have it work out dynamically but that didn't work so have resorted for the time being to statically specifying it e.g.

switchevents.defaultExpanded(1)

Any assistance much appreciated!

You should never have to explicitly get a content to expand (ie: by adding style="display:block"). Remove that first.

The defaultExpand() function does work on your page- I just tested it locally. However, since you also have the persistence feature enabled:

switchnews.setPersist(true)

The above will take over right after the first time the page is loaded (ie: reload the page) over any specified default expanded content:

switchevents.defaultExpanded(1)

To truly test if the defaultExpanded feature is working, remove the setPersist() line first to see how the script behaves without persistence overriding things.

thanks, you were right on the money with the persistence. Soon as I commented it out then the default worked.
