To answer your last question first: yes, I do have control over the HTML code and all the Javascript and jQuery code, so I can change it as needed. For additional information, I have pretty much figured out how to perform the function I want using a combination of straight up Javascript and also some jQuery. If seeing the website would help you, it is here: www.freewebs.com/edauenhauer. (The function I was aiming for was to be able to click on a "title" on the left and have it open up a "content" div on the right. Whenever a new "title" would be clicked, the already visible "content" div would close and the new one would open.) For further clarification, I'm basically trying to emulate the Harry Maugans style collapsible div (http://www.harrymaugans.com/2007/03/05/ how-to-create-a-collapsible-div-with-javascript-and-css/) with jQuery. Here is my Javascript function: function toggleDiv(divid){ document.getElementById(divid).style.display = 'block'; } The jQuery code that I'm using in conjunction with that is this: $(document).ready(function() { $('div.content').hide(); $('a.title').mousedown(function() { $('.content:visible').hide(300); }); }); And then a snippet of the HTML is this: <div class="title_container"> <a href="javascript:;" onclick="toggleDiv('div1');" class="title">Title 1</a> <a href="javascript:;" onclick="toggleDiv('div2');" class="title">Title 2</a> </div> <div class="content" id="div1" style="display:none;">blah blah blah</div> <div class="content" id="div2" style="display:none;">blah blah blah</div> In summary, the "Titles" are held in a separate div which gives access to all the titles independent of other content. When the titles are clicked on, they use the "toggleDiv" Javascript function to open up a "Content" div. When this happens, jQuery is used to close all other visible "Content" divs so that only the most recent one clicked is showing. Is really isn't a big deal so don't spend too much time on it, but I was wondering if there was a way to completely cut out the "toggleDiv" Javascript function and do it all through jQuery. The advantages for me would be primarily animation, which is always cool. Again, thanks for any help you can offer.
