Re: [PHP] PHP/CSS/Javascript question
Hi all, Is it possible to modify a table using JavaScript to control CSS visabilty when the entire table is developed dynamically using PHP? Thanks, Paul Paul: I am sure that you can change css via javascript, but you can as well with php -- see: http://www.sperling.com/examples/styleswitch/ tedd -- http://sperling.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You don't need to change the CSS (I don't even know if it is possible), but
you can change specific styles of any element within the HTML. For example:
document.getElementById('IdOfDivContainingTable').style.display='none';
It is particularly usefull to enclose whichever set of elements that you
wish to change into a single entity, a DIV or SPAN, if at all possible.
Styles assigned in this way have precedence over those from a style sheet

Yes, it's just a text file -- it can be re-written. However, it needs
to be loaded again to take affect.

That's the main principle of ajax, isn't it? Using DOM to apply
changes within the document. It might be old-hat to most, but I find
it fascinating.

The precedence is simply inheritance -- last stated is applied.

And it affects all documents of all users. Suddenly, by the action of one
user, all other users reaching the same page will see things as per the
actions of another user. Unless you take care to keep separate CSS files.

No, this is not AJAX, it is simply using the DOM. Ajax also involves
communication with the server in the background.

No, if you dynamically load a new stylesheet after you set the style of an
element using the DOM, this style would still have precedence over the new
stylesheet. The precedence of styles is set by how you set it. Setting a
style through the DOM has precedence over CSS attributes, which have
precedence over styles specified by the style HTML attribute which has
precedence over the default rendering of an element. Only within the same
category the order of assignment would matter.
And, by the way, yes, you can load a new stylesheet.

Yes, that's true -- but I was thinking that the user was the coder
and that's what he/she wanted to do -- not that it was open to users
to change per their whim.
Perhaps I misunderstood the original post.

Yes, you are correct -- thanks for the clarification. At this point
in my learning, both appear so intertwined that they are synonymous.

As Johnny Carson said often I didn't know that! -- thanks.
So it's: DOM CSS HTML Browser Default -- is that the
precedence you are saying?

Well, the original question was quite short. Either of us might be right or
wrong. I assumed the case of a table with optional sub-items, like an
expanding tree, or a menu or a table with categories where you want to
expand any of the categories into its components.
document.getElementById('IdOfDivContainingTable').style.display='none';
It is particularly usefull to enclose whichever set of elements that you

you are saying?
That's what my manual says. I remembered there was some precedence issue
from some code of mine, some time ago, that didn't work as expected. I
think it was a style= attribute that wasn't working while when assigning
it via the DOM did, and I couldn't figure out until I realized that a CSS
definition was in between, having higher precedence than the style
attribute, but lower than the DOM. One of those bugs that drive you nuts.

Look the firsts results. I think PHP has nothing to do here, it just writes the table to html, but if you do a good JS function and your PHP'd html has id's, it should work fine.
