Topic awaiting preservation: How to get a sub-item? (Page 1 of 1)

Hi!

Let's assume we have the following list:

<ul id="item1">
    <li>Name1
    <ul>
        <li>Sub-Name1</li>
        <li>Sub-Name2</li>
    </ul>
</ul>

Is it possible to hide the child-list?
I get the parent-list with document.getElementById('item1'), but how do i select the child-list?

Thanks for your response.

Hi u-neek,

try:

document.getElementById('item1').childNodes[1].style.

You could also loop through all the parent list's child nodes and check which of them is the <ul> - this would work better esp. if it isn't always the second.
