Javascript - using parameters 2

[BigMentor]

Hi

I have a series of Javascript functions

Three hundred of them to be precise


function openSub1()
{
document.all.sub1B.style.display = 'block'
}

function openSub2()
{
document.all.sub2B.style.display = 'block'
}

Through to . . .

function openSub300()
{
document.all.sub300B.style.display = 'block'
}


I would like to have a Generalised function that gets the number as
a parameter - like


function openSubGeneral(nNumber)
{
//But how do I get the "Paramer Number" in the next line ????
document.all.sub296B.style.display = 'block'
}


Thanks in anticipation

First, document.all is for IE only, so no one viewing your site with any other browser will be able to use that functionality.

You can use something like this:

function openSub(nNumber)
{
document.getElementById('sub' + nNumber + 'b').style.display = 'block';
}

If only my brain had been working, I would not have got into such a loonie position !!

Hi

First, document.all is for IE only

That "only" is generally correct, but is not exact.

Because many self-proclaimed webmasters believe that Explorer is the standard, many other browsers had to implement a fake [tt]document.all[/tt].

We discussed about that in thread216-1536016 and thread216-1546473.

( Of course, I agree, the correct solution is the one suggested by Lee. )

Thanks for the info, feherke. I didn't realize that the Mozilla browsers had a way out for document.all code.
