You need to make sure that each link handler (the href="javascript:...." part) ends with: return false; This will prevent the browser from atttempting a page transition. The reason this occurred is that the 'return value' from the href- invoked script is always equal to the value of the last statement or expression evaluated. "story.closeAllTiddlers()" has an implicit value of 0 (equivalent to 'false'). As such, when that was the last statement, the script was returning false... hence, no page transition. However, when you removed that last statement, the previous statement (i.e., 'docment.getElementById(...).style.display="none") then became the last one... and, because the value of an assignment statement is the same as the value that is being assigned, the script as a whole takes on a 'return value' of "none". The result: a page transition occurs, and the return value "none" is used as the target content for the new page, just as you observed. enjoy, -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
