Also, looking at your code if you have more then one div named pstyle_sel
then the code will not function as intended. There are two work arounds for
this.
You can either place something in the view to name the div based on a unique
value such as the item id
<div id="pstyle_sel<? echo $data['Item']['id']; ?>";>
and then use this value in your javascript as well:
'complete'=>' if ( $("pstyle_sel' . $data['Item']['id'] . '").length == 0)
$("style' . $data['Item']['id'] . '").hide();'
The option is to use prototype DOM traversal methods up(), down(),
previous(), next() . You can read more about them here:
