linking question

[MrPantsTm]

what do I need to do to make links reveal parts of the website. For example, if they click a link some menu buttons are displayed. I'd prefer not to use a form and I've seen this done. I'm pretty sure it's done with js but I could be wrong. Thanks!

This little function shows or hides any object on your page.

[COLOR=blue]function[/color] ShowHide(obj, show)
{
   [COLOR=blue]if[/color] (show == [COLOR=blue]true[/color])
      obj.style.display = '';      
   [COLOR=blue]else[/color]
      obj.style.display = 'none';         
}

Alternatively, if you just want to make the objects invisible but keep the "placeholder" where they would have normally appeared (to keep your formatting intact) use:

function ShowHide(obj, show) {
   if (show == true)
      obj.style.visibility = "visible";
   else
      obj.style.visibility = "hidden";
}

Hope this helps.
