Parts of the same page appear and disappear when clicking a link ?

When you look on a page and it says something like click here for . . . . . and then something appears under that link, but when clicking a similar link on the same page, that previous part that was visible, then disappears and a new section appears. Anyone know what that's called please ?

Any examples ?

Any help appreciated.

Kezi.

 

Could you please give me an example of what you mean, or someplace you've seen it? Do you mean mouseover text, or tooltip text?

 

You've posted insufficient information for anything more than guesswork. My guess is one of the following apply:

http://positioniseverything.net/explorer/guillotine.html or

http://positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html

cheers,

Thanks Gary and Itcn, the input is appreciated.

I'm afraid I don't have any examples, as it was a few months ago now - I thought I had saved it into my bookmarks, but it's not there ;-(

The link on : http://positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html would be the nearest to what I'm looking for, but when clicking on one link, you should be able to click on another link on the same page to reveal other content and close the previous one.

Oh, you mean the old slide and hide div. You can get the script here:

Examples 1, 2 or 3 are probably what you're looking for.

 

Thanks Itcn, but looking for the ones where clicking on a link, not only shows more text, but also closes the previous section.

 

Oh sorry - just look at examples 4, 5 and 6 then - it does exactly what you want.

Many thanks, I only looked at the first 3 examples, but should have looked at the others as well.

That does do it exactly as needed.

One thing, where is the code for that exact function please ? Or is it in with the same code for examples 1, 2 and 3 ?

 

Same script, just read the instructions on the page, the part about group=groupname

 

Many thanks - the help here has been excellent.
