For loop question

[rye8261]

I'm a php person not JS so I'm a little slow with JS. I have a php page that is in a for loop and will pass the javascript function a variable like "uniquename1" or "uniquename2"

My JS function looks like this, not pretty but works for me with a single variable (not with the .d parts). How can I get the function to accept a dynamic variable like the two above?

function ShowContent(d) {
if(d.length < 1) { return; }
	if(d == "uniquename".d){
	document.getElementById('empty'.d).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('hi5'.d).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('uniquename'.d).style.display = "block";
	}
	if(d == "hi5".d){
	document.getElementById('empty'.d).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('uniquename'.d).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('hi5'.d).style.display = "block";
	}
}

what is "uniquename".d?

d is not a valid attribute...

?

are you trying to concatenate "uniquename" and d? because concatenation in JS is +

Well here is exactly what I have for my code now:

	<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!--
function ShowContent(d) {
	
for (var x = 1; x <= 26; x++){
	if(d == "uniquename"+x){
	document.getElementById('empty'+x).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('hi5'+x).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('uniquename'+x).style.display = "block";
	}
	if(d == "hi5"+d){
	document.getElementById('empty'+x).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('uniquename'+x).style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById('hi5'+x).style.display = "block";
	}
}
//--></script>

I'm calling in in the php code with this where I is a number generated.

ShowContent('uniquename<?=$i?>');

So I'm trying to make the JS hide some divs like uniquename5 but don't know how to make the JS work for anything other than a name like uniquename hard coded.

why not just pass in another variable and compare against that?

This

if(d == "hi5"+d)

will never evaluate to True. Did you mean

if(d == "hi5"+x)

?
