Help in putting the right coding in if JavaScript is turn off.

[Sharon Mutumwa]

I am currently using Frontpage 2003. I have a JavaScript function that makes
certain information appear on a page when a hyperlink is clicked. Due to the
fact that users may turn off JavaScript, I am looking for advise that will
enable me to have an alternative.

the function I am using is:

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
function close_all() {
document.getElementById('relatedprocess').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('tailoringguide').style.display = 'none';
}
function show_div(div_id) {
close_all();
document.getElementById(div_id).style.display = 'block';
}
</SCRIPT>

and at the appropriate place for the hyperlink I put the following in:

<DIV id=tailoringguide style="DISPLAY: none">
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width="100%" border=0 id="table29">
<TBODY>
<TR bgColor=#a50042>
<TD width="100%" bgcolor="#541586"><FONT face=arial color=white
size=2><B>? </B></FONT>
<b><font face="arial" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Tailoring
Guide</font></b></TD>
<TD bgcolor="#541486"><A href="javascript:close_all();">
<IMG
src="x.gif" border=0 width="10" height="10"></A></TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD colSpan=2><font size="2">For smaller projects the PM will
normally perform many (or
all) of the other roles within the team,.........

I know I can create a separate page with the same information on, what I do
not know is what alternative coding I need and where to put it, so that when
a user click the same hyperlink, they still get the same information, if they
disable JavaScript.

Hope someone can help me?

That is why you should never just have a JavaScript link as in
<A href="JavaScript:close_all();">
But you should have a std hyperlink w/ a JavaScript onclick event (which will fire if JS is not disabled)
<A href="thealternatepage.htm" target="_blank" onclick="close_all();">

<A href="thealternatepage.htm" target="_blank" onclick="close_all();return
false">

Right? Otherwise, both would fire.

Using the code you or Stefan have suggested, works to a point. It does what
I want it to, but the one thing that has disappeared is that I had a X, which
when you clicked on it it closed the information. What seems to have
replaced that , when I look in Frontpage is that there is now a flag which
would take it to the alternative page if javascript was disabled.

What do I need to do to ensure the user can close the information once they
have finished with it.

I realise that if a user clicks on another part of the page the information
will go, but is there a way a user can close the information without clicking
on another part of the page, ie have the X back which they can click?

Your JavaScript for the close_all function needs to check the state (open or closed) and run the reverse
