Can't execute javascript in "BODY" section

[MuttleyDiXiE]

I have been trying for the last couple of days to make this script execute in the "body" of my webpage. The script looks like this in the "head" section.


<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
<!--

var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all?1:0

var head=&quot;display:''&quot;
var folder=''

function expandit(curobj){
folder=ns6?curobj.nextSibling.nextSibling.style:document.all[curobj.sourceIndex+1].style
if (folder.display==&quot;none&quot
folder.display=&quot;&quot;
else
folder.display=&quot;none&quot;
}

function expanditallready(curobj){
folder=ns6?curobj.nextSibling.nextSibling.style:document.all[curobj.sourceIndex+1].style;
folder.display=&quot;&quot;;
}

//-->
</script>


This is what I have in the &quot;body&quot; section.

<cfif #Client.ExpIkkeStartet# EQ &quot;yes&quot;>
<h1 class=&quot;titleexpander&quot; style=&quot;cursorointer; cursor:hand&quot; onClick=&quot;expandit(this)&quot;>IKKE STARTET</h1>
<cfelseif #Client.ExpIkkeStartet# EQ &quot;no&quot;>
<h1 class=&quot;titleexpander&quot; style=&quot;cursorointer; cursor:hand&quot;><script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>expanditallready(this)</script>IKKE STARTET</h1>
</cfif>

The &quot;onClick&quot; works fine but it is the <cfelseif> clause that's giving me trouble. I want the script to execute if the <cfelseif> clause validates to true but it does not execute upon validating to true! I don't know anything about javascripting so I'm really lost here. I don't know if it's the way I'm trying to execute the script in my <cfelseif> clause or if something in the script needs to be changed in order for it to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

you should be able to use this:

<cfif #Client.ExpIkkeStartet# EQ &quot;yes&quot;>
<h1 id=&quot;foo&quot; class=&quot;titleexpander&quot; style=&quot;cursorointer; cursor:hand&quot; onClick=&quot;expandit(this)&quot;>IKKE STARTET</h1>
<cfelseif #Client.ExpIkkeStartet# EQ &quot;no&quot;>
<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>expanditallready(document.getElementById(&quot;foo&quot)</script>
</cfif>

Hi Jeff,

Thank U for the quick response. Unfortunately it doesn't work. When I implement your suggestions it simply leaves out this part upon validating to true,

<cfelseif #Client.ExpIkkeStartet# EQ &quot;no&quot;>
<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>expanditallready(document.getElementById(&quot;foo&quot)</script>
</cfif>

Maybe it's the script itself?

did it do this before? the javascript would have no effect on CF. perhaps check with the CF forum

Hi Jeff,


What I meant to say was that it does not execute the javascript or maybe there is something wrong with the javascript?

first see if your CF is working:

<cfif #Client.ExpIkkeStartet# EQ &quot;yes&quot;>
<h1 class=&quot;titleexpander&quot; style=&quot;cursorointer; cursor:hand&quot; onClick=&quot;expandit(this)&quot;>IKKE STARTET (YES)</h1>
<cfelseif #Client.ExpIkkeStartet# EQ &quot;no&quot;>
<h1 class=&quot;titleexpander&quot; style=&quot;cursorointer; cursor:hand&quot;><script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>expanditallready(document.getElementById(&quot;foo&quot)</script>IKKE STARTET (NO)</h1>
</cfif>

if that's working properly, then put an alert in each function to see if it gets called:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
<!--

var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all?1:0

var head=&quot;display:''&quot;
var folder=''

function expandit(curobj){
alert('expandit')
folder=ns6?curobj.nextSibling.nextSibling.style:document.all[curobj.sourceIndex+1].style
if (folder.display==&quot;none&quot
folder.display=&quot;&quot;
else
folder.display=&quot;none&quot;
}

function expanditallready(curobj){
alert('expanditallready')
folder=ns6?curobj.nextSibling.nextSibling.style:document.all[curobj.sourceIndex+1].style;
folder.display=&quot;&quot;;
}

//-->
</script>


if you don't get the alert, check the html source to see if CF actually wrote the function call, or check your browser for script errors.
