Hi all,
I try to use Element.show and hide on mouseover and mouseout event.
css:
span.usercontrol
{
display: none;
}
<span class="usercontrol" id="hidden" >
Hidden
</span>
<span onmouseover="Element.show(''hidden'')"
onmouseout="Element.hide(''hidden'')" >
text
</span>
This doesn''t work when I define the css in an external file (as
described below). When I define the css on the element
<span style="display:none" id="hidden" >
Hidden
</span>
the code works
Someone has an idea why?
Regards,
Stijn

its to do with how the various styles are prioritised. CSS (external files) have a higher priority than inline styles, and the Show() method, uses inline style, so nothing happens. You should use inline style on your element if you are planning on unhiding it. *Or* load the page with the element shown and hide it onload (which will momentarily show your object depending on how big the page is) Gareth On 8/12/07, Tarscher <tarscher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Hi all, > > I try to use Element.show and hide on mouseover and mouseout event. > css: > span.usercontrol > { > display: none; > } > > <span class="usercontrol" id="hidden" > > Hidden > </span> > <span onmouseover="Element.show(''hidden'')" > onmouseout="Element.hide(''hidden'')" > > text > </span> > > This doesn''t work when I define the css in an external file (as > described below).

Close, but the other way around. Inline styles have a higher priority than styles defined in a CSS block (either in page head or external file). Element.hide() adds "display:none" to the element, hiding it, no matter what its class/style rules might otherwise dictate. Element.show() removes the display style from the element, so it would default to its otherwise inherited/styled value. In this case, it reverts to the display style of the "usercontrol" class, which hides the element.

Oops, For some reason I thought that show applied a style. I stand humbly corrected. Either way, my initial statement was correct :) Gareth On 8/13/07, Tom Gregory <tomg-PGZyUNKar/Q@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Close, but the other way around.
