Hiding layer on body focus 1

Streetdaddy · Apr 2, 2001

Is it possible to hide a layer when with an onClick parameter in the body tag?

reason being, i have layers that show on a img mouseOver, but I dont want them to hide on the img mouseOut, but to hide on body onFocus

It isn't truely an onclick, instead it is an onFocus and here is something what it would look like

<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function findObj(n, d) { //v3.0
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?&quot

)>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=findObj(n,d.layers.document); return x;
}

function showHideLayers() { //v3.0
var i,p,v,obj,args=showHideLayers.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) if ((obj=findObj(args))!=null) { v=args[i+2];
if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible'v='hide')?'hidden':v; }
obj.visibility=v; }
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<BODY onFocus="showHideLayers('Layer1','','hide')">
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:244px; top:223px; width:112px; height:121px; z-index:1">TEST</div>
<a href="#" onClick="showHideLayers('Layer1','','show')">TEST</a>
</body>

Clicking TEST in the webpage will display a layer and if you click anywhere else in the body it will hide the layer.

The only problem with this is if they switch to a different window (Alt+tab) and come back to the webpage it will hide the layers that are currently being displayed.

Hope This helps.

I think that will do just fine

if they alt tab to another window, too bad!

thanks
