Thanks for the added reply Justin, although I am just confused now. I
think I need some newbie hand holding.
Maybe I should explain the ultimate goal. The function getContentAlt
set up to be reusable. I pass variables col2 and col3 depending on
which link is clicked. I would set up multiple Event.observe's for
this.That function needs to know what 'this' is because the first if
statement tests to see if the class name is 'current' or not. if it
is, it does not follow through with the function and does not follow
the link.
Right now the function does not know what 'this' is I presume, because
I get this error....
$(this).hasClassName is not a function
getContentAlt("/includes/content/contact-col-2.php", "/includes/
content/contact-col-3.php")functions.js (line 369)
(no name)()
wrapper(click clientX=0, clientY=0)
if ($(this).hasClassName('current')) {
