Can someone help. It is really doing me in now. All i want to do is display the hidden table from the id that is passed in the function and hide all the other ids that have been displayed in the past.

module_variable='';

function module(get) {
	if(document.getElementById) {
		if (typeof(get) ==='string') {
			get=document.getElementById(obj);
		}
		if(module_variable == get) alert(get);
}

function show(id) {
	
	var get=document.getElementById(id);
	if(get.style.display=='none'){
		get.style.display='';
	}
	module(get);
}

here im trying to create a separate function that works out the last id so that i can close it before opening the next. Naturly it doesnt work. However at the moment im just trying to alert something.

Help im going mad!

Menu IDs into an array

I like the sound of putting all the menu ids in to an array, seeing as when they are created they are from an array in the first place. Perhaps creating a new array from the current array, suppose it would make it an multi dimmensional array: $menu[itemID][ID] perhaps i could loop through picking out the array item that referes to the ID that has been clicked on?

Does this make sense.

Hey,

well theres a couple ways you can do it...

1. You can create an array holding the IDs of your menus and have the "show" function close them all except for the selected ID.

2. You can send the "TOTAL" number of menus along with the ID and have the show function count out the other menus and close them all(or make sure they are all closed)

3. You can place all the menus into a "CONTAINER" and then run through the menus as if they where Nodes and check it they are open, if open close them.

Depending on how you can to go I can provide example code for any option, which do you think will work best for your menu system?
