Dynamic Content

[WandaL]

I am new to DHTML but I know enough to tweak code. What I need to do I think is very simple:

I have an include file that has 2 table rows. On the second row, I would like to pull a name from a separate file that has a list of several names. I can create the names list file in whatever way is best to make this work.

Does anyone know where I can find a script/code that will do this?

Thanks...

Do you mean you want to hide/show text if something is selected?

[WandaL]

I guess what I'm trying to do is dynamically display a name that can be pulled based on some criteria on the page such as a div or table id.

In other words, depending on the criteria used (div or table id), a name is displayed. This name will reside in and be pulled from a different file/page.

I hope this is better...

Soory I still don't understand. What do you mean by div or table id?

[WandaL]

Okay, I have the following table

<table width="75%" border="1" name="Something">

the content owners name would sit in a cell in this table. Each content page would have the same table and the only difference would be the name of the table.

I would like to have some type of function that would put a name in the table cell, based on the name of the table. For example:

function conowner()
if table.name=Something document.write "Wanda Love"
else
if table.name=Other then document.write "Graeme Hackston"

I believe this works in all DOM browsers.

function conowner() {
if (document.getElementById('Wanda Love')) {
document.write('Wanda Love');
} else {
if (document.getElementById('Graeme Hackston')) {
document.write('Graeme Hackston');
}

<table width="75%" border="1" id="Wanda Love">

I believe you'll have to use id and not name.

Wonderful...I'll give this a try and will let you know if it works for me...

Thanks again...

No problem, another member gave me that bit of code just a week or 2 ago.

If your doing lots of document writes you might want to use this at the beginning of your scripts to reduce code bloat.

function w(onestring) {
document.write(onestring);
}


Then


w('Wanda Love');

Unless I find another way, I will be doing a lot of document.writes. Thanks alot for the code...
