Hi... at a certain point after trying a lot of things I went back to the nettuts tutorial. simply changed the 'href' to 'class' changed #content to my video container div #video and then sighed. hehehe
The idea is to click on the already being used for other things <li> menu items, and have a jpg (eventually an flv video) show in the div container called 'video'. So... how wrong is this..please. Totally or just mostly? I added a bunch of classes that aren't need just to test. And of course it does nothing. Though my href menu stuff still work!! I haven't put any jpgs or videos anywhere. There's just this div on the html page. And, #videos with some basic css in the css file. DIV on HTML page: <div id="video"> ? </div> // what I will need to put in the video div eventually I'm not quite sure yet. HTML menu in <BODY>: <li> <a href="#first" class="first">First</a> <ul class="first"> <li class="first-a-video"><a class="#first-a" href="#first-a">first-a</a></li> <li class="first-b-video"><a class="#first-b" href="#first-b">first- b</a></li> <li class="first-c-video"><a class="#first-c" href="#first-c">first- c</a></li> <li class="first-d-video"><a class="#first-d" href="#first-d">first- d</a></li> <li class="first-e-video"><a class="#first-e" href="#first-e">first- e</a></li> </ul> </li> JQUERY in <HEAD>: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('li a').click(function(){ var toLoad = $(this).attr('class')+' #video'; $('#video').hide('fast',loadContent); function loadContent() { $('#video').load(toLoad,'',showNewContent()) } function showNewContent() { $('#video').show('normal'()); } return false; }); }); -------------- EEK!
