Hi Michael, No, :hover isn't an option since what I want to do is have stuff hidden when you print it. I'm using Zeldman's "toggle" script, and I want to set it up so that only expanded items will print (at the moment the headings of non-expanded items also prints, so that you get a lot of wasted paper). It's in a reports section, so logically a person printing the page is only interested in the section they've expanded.
So we have something like:
<ul>
<li class="noPrint"><a href="#" onclick="toggle(1)"
onKeyPress="toggle(1)">CategoryName1</a></li>
<li class="noPrint">
<ul id="1" style="display: none;">
<li class="noPrint"><a href="#" onclick="toggle(2)"
onKeyPress="toggle(2)">SubcategoryName1</a></li>
<li class="noPrint">
<ul id="2" style="display: none;">
<li class="noPrint"><a href="#" onclick="toggle(3)"
onKeyPress="toggle(3)">SectionName1</a></li>
<li>
<div id="3" style="display: none;">
<p>ItemName1</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="noPrint"><a href="#" onclick="toggle(4)"
onKeyPress="toggle(4)">CategoryName2</a></li>
<li class="noPrint">
<ul id="4" style="display: none;">
<li class="noPrint"><a href="#" onclick="toggle(5)"
onKeyPress="toggle(5)">SubcategoryName2</a></li>
<li class="noPrint">
<ul id="5" style="display: none;">
<li class="noPrint"><a href="#" onclick="toggle(6)"
onKeyPress="toggle(6)">SectionName2</a></li>
<li>
<div id="6" style="display: none;">
<p>ItemName2</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
This is a cutdown version of the code for the page, taking out all of the
other details that show along with the ItemName, as well as the code for the
looping (I've pasted in two sets instead, just to give the idea), but it
shows the essential format. What I want is that if only the top set is
expanded, CategoryName2 will not actually print at all. So when a link is
clicked, as well as toggling the referred ID to visible, it will set the
class of the parent element from "noPrint" to "Print".
Is that something that can be done? How do you isolate the parent element to
do something to it?
Seona.
