Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / June 2005

I am a server-sider... I am trying to make a page which shows and hides
elements on the page when a hyperlink is clicked. What I cannot find is how
to have the stuff that is shown be next to each other when the hidden stuff
is hidden. Take this page (code at bottom). When About Me is clicked, the
paragraph that goes with it is shown. When the paragraph is not shown, I
want the What You Get at Steph's Place to be right below, not leaving space
for the stuff which is not beoing shown.

I think I used to know how to do this... but now I cannot remember. Thanks!

<script>

if (document.layers) {

 visible = 'show';

 hidden = 'hide';

} else if (document.all) {

 visible = 'visible';

 hidden = 'hidden';

}

function barTog(menu) {

 if (document.layers) {

   daMenu = document.layers[menu];

 } else if (document.all) {

   daMenu = document.all(menu).style;

 }

 if (daMenu.visibility == visible) {

   daMenu.visibility = hidden;

 } else {

   daMenu.visibility = visible;

 }

}

Me<a/></H1>
<div id=Background class=expandableElement><P>I am a 36 year old mother of
2, ages 4 1/2 and 21 months. I have been working
outside the home as a Software Engineer. My children have been in child
care,
both in a home and at a center. I would always have thoughts about what I
would
do differently. My husband would say, so start a day care of your own. So I
am.
</P>
<P>I have always wanted to run my own business. I am efficient and
organized. I
thought I would work for myself as a Software Engineer, but I had to face
the
fact that I don't like being a Software Engineer. What I would find really
enjoyable would be to hang out with little kids; laugh with them, play with
them, hold them when they cry.
</P>
<P>We've lives in Fairfax now for almost 2 years, and we are not much a part
of our
community. We love it here, and <em>want</em> to be part of the community.
The
best way to become part of the community would be to live and work in the
community. If I do not work in the Big Town of Burlington, my kids can go
to
school in Fairfax, play with friends in Fairfax, play sports in Fairfax.
