Insert Large Amounts of Text

[Rick7]

Hi,All:

I am looking for a solution to the following delima: In an html doc, I have several headings. When the user clicks a heading, I would like to show the detail for the heading. Click again, and the detail is removed. The detail should be in contained in table format and might consist of several hundred rows.

I had some success using elementID.outerHTML combined with an onClick event, but it falls apart when I include large amounts of text/html. Again, the detail can be several hunderd rows.

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Rick

Good idea, but the data needs to be aligned in column format. The data are sales related details. Everything needs to line up with the totals at the bottom row for each section.

I think that it is also easier to work with the data when it is all visible.

Thanks again for your suggestion!!!

Can you break up your table? If so, put each section into a <div> tag and selectively expand/contract the <div> when the user clicks the heading.
