What do you call this Script?

May 10th, 2008, 3:55 pm

hi,
i am trying to find the name for this script which enables you to hide stuff, and when you click on it, the webpage extends and shows the hidden stuff.

example: http://www.adriantnt.com/products/comments_script/

At the bottom, when you click on "Click here to add a comment" it shows you the form without reloading the page.

In what language is this done and what is the name of it?

Thanks for your help

If you view line 230 of the source on that page you notice that they are using Javascript. The javascript that they are using is being included in the head.

Code: Select all

1.  
2. <script type="text/javascript">
3. function toggle_content(id)
4. {
5.     if (document.getElementById(id).style.display == 'none')
6.     {
7.         document.getElementById(id).style.display = '';
8.     }
9.     else
10.     {
11.         document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none';
