Hide / Show Layers

[Nebooaw]

Hi, if i have a page with multiple layers on it (some having the same name) how can i show / hide all layers with the same name.

eg.

Layer1
Layer2
Layer2
Layer2
Layer3
etc..

I want a button to hide all Layer2 layers.


Can anyone help?

Have you tried using a subscript after the layer name?

<script>
AllLayers=document.getElementsByTagName("div")
for(i=0;i<AllLayers.length;i++)
{
if(AllLayers.id=="Layer2)
{
AllLayers.style.display="none"
}
}
</script>

NOTE:
i have used Id of the layer, if its name that u want please use:
AllLayers.name

...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

You could also try this:

[i]collObjects[/i] = document.[b]getElementsByName[/b]([i]sNameValue[/i])

Although it says "by name", according to the MSDN web site it will look for name OR id. If there are multiple with the same name, you will get a collection (i.e. an array) of those elements.
