Hello, I'm new to jQuery (and javascripting) and was wondering how I go about showing the details of a record which is displayed in a table on a new row. Just a basic expand/collapse toggler that pulls data from another page and inserts it into a <tr> below. Here's the code I have.
<h2>Before </h2> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th>ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last name</th> <th>Favorite Color</th> <th>Show Details</th> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td><p>Joe</p></td> <td>Smith</td> <td>Red</td> <td><a href="#">Show Details</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>Sally</td> <td>Jones</td> <td>Yellow</td> <td><a href="#">Show Details</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>3</td> <td>Bill</td> <td>Ding</td> <td>Green</td> <td><a href="#">Show Details</a></td> </tr> </table> <h2>After </h2> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th>ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last name</th> <th>Favorite Color</th> <th>Show Details</th> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td><p>Joe</p></td> <td>Smith</td> <td>Red</td> <td><a href="#">Show Details</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>Sally</td> <td>Jones</td> <td>Yellow</td> <td><a href="#">Hide Details</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5">Sally has been trying to learn how to make a new <tr> show below her record when you click on Show Details. This new row will show more details about her which is pulled from a separate page using ajax/ahah.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>3</td> <td>Bill</td> <td>Ding</td> <td>Green</td> <td><a href="#">Show Details</a></td> </tr> </table> I've ad a little luck with .after, but i couldn't figure out how to collapse the row back...or pull from a separate file. Please help :) Thank you!
