fpr what its worth, these are some the handler functions I have created.
the logic s fine, but your suggestion is much less work, it seems,
and there are a few bugs which i commented out. i am not an expert in JS,
its not veryintuitive for me
function get_system_states() {
var ref = document.getElementById('mb_system_state_references');
var systemz = [];
systemz = ref.innerHTML.split(":",33);
// innerHTML default state reference (U=Unopen, O=Open, M=Minimized) :>
//100=U:101=U:102=U:103=U:104=U:105=U:106=U:107=U:108=U:109=U:
//110=U:111=U:112=U:113=U:114=U:115=U:116=U:117=U:118=U:119=U:
//120=U:121=U:122=U:123=U:124=U:125=U:126=U:127=U:128=U:129=U:
//130=U:131=U:132=U
var mb_statez = [];
for(k=100;k<133;k++) {
var n = k-100; // system 100 should be index 0, system 132 should
be index 32
var sys_string = systemz[n];
var system_statez = sys_string.split("=",2);
var state = system_statez[1]; // index 0 should be the system
number, index 1 is the letter U, M or O
mb_statez[n] = state;
} // end loop
return mb_statez;
} // end function
function get_system_state(system_index) {
system_index+='';
var s = get_system_states();
var n = (parseInt(system_index)-100);
return s[n];
}
function set_system_state(system_index,new_state){
var s = []; s=get_system_states(); var n = 0;
system_index+=''; var new_ref_string="";
//alert('setting new system state: '+new_state);
for(k=100;k<133;k++) { n = k-100;
//if not the setting we are setting, write its current state
if ((system_index)==k.toString()) {
new_ref_string+=k+'='+new_state;
} else { // else, write the new one
new_ref_string+=k+'='+s[n];
} // end else
new_ref_string+=":";
} // end for loop
document.getElementById('mb_system_state_references').innerHTML=new_ref_string;
//alert('writing new innerHTML as: '+new_ref_string);
return false;
} // function
function minimize_mb_system(system_index) {
//if (get_system_state(system_index)=="M")
// {
system_index+='';
var sp_div_id = 'system'+system_index+'';
var min_div_id = 'system'+system_index+'_minimized';
Effect.SwitchOff(sp_div_id);
Effect.Appear(min_div_id);
set_system_state(system_index,"M");
return false;
// }
// else { var warning = "system display state is already minimized.
did not collapse."; return warning; }
}
function restore_mb_system(system_index) {
//if (get_system_state(system_index)=="O")
// {
system_index+='';
var sp_div_id = 'system'+system_index;
var min_div_id = 'system'+system_index+'_minimized';
Effect.Appear(''+sp_div_id+'');
Effect.SwitchOff(''+min_div_id+'');
