Topic awaiting preservation: Help Me pls (Page 1 of 1)

Actually, I posted this in the unregistered forum, but I see that the response there is rather.. uhm.. bad.. so I decided to register and post here instead.

Just asking: can I hide the layers(divCont, floatContent, scrollbkg...) of the Zscroller2, and How? Please Reply ASAP!

Thanks In Advance!

Welcome. I dunno if I am out of it or something but I have no clue what you are talking about. Sorry but maybe if you are more descriptive or give some code then people might actually be able to help you.

- can't decide? have another drink.

Well, Zscroller2 is something you can get from the Doc at www.znippets.com .

I am not really sure if this will help you but ...

You can use some JavaScript to toggle the visibility of those items.

Later,
C:\

You can use the following two functions to show / hide ZscrollBar...

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- ;

// Written by mr.maX, http://www.maxworld.co.yu/

function hideZscrollBar() {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (i = 0; i < Zobject.length; i++) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zobject[i].visibility = 'hidden';
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zobject[i].setZall();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;loaded = 0;
}

function showZscrollBar() {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (i = 0; i < Zobject.length; i++) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zobject[i].visibility = 'visible';
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zobject[i].setZall();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;loaded = 1;
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>

BTW Unregistered/unmoderated forum is used just for fooling around, it's not used for asking technical questions and that's why you didn't get any answer there...

Alright, I'll go try editing the code some more. Thanks again.

It worked. but can i do this instead?

<div id="group" style="visibility:hidden;">
<div id="divCont">...</div>
<div id="floatContent">...</div>
<div id="...">...</div>
</div>

so that I can just change the visibility of "group" to hide/show all the other layers. I *think* it should work, but after implementing it as above. It did not work. Can you tell me what is the problem(and whether can it work)? Pardon me, cause my dhtml and Js *** bad.

Thanks.(Yet again...)

Good thinking, but the problem is the inside divs are positioned absolutely, so they lose the inheritance of lots of their parents CSS properties, including the visibility.

ZscrollBar is relatively complex script and due to its complexity you can't use that way to hide it. Only way to do it properly is to use two functions that I wrote...

Thanks

...and I think your 'style=' attribute is a little fudged up....

...... or maybe I shouldn't post to 'helpful' threads after a hard night a partying and no sleep...
