Toggling Sections of Code

[theKiwi]

I'm trying to implement a simple "toggle" similar to what is in a number of places in TNG, particularly the Admin area, to show/hide a couple of blocks on the click of a button or link.

I've got it working for the most part as can be seen here

http://genealogy.clanmoffat.org/toggletest.html

but what I'm stumped on trying to figure out is how to change the small + icon to a - icon when the code is expanded.

So can someone cleverer than me please take a look at the code on that page and tell me how I might change it so that the + becomes a - when the bulleted list is opened?

The code of the JavaScript doing this is here

function togglecm( targetId ){
target = document.getElementById( targetId );
if( target.style.display == 'none' ) {
target.style.display = "block";
}
else {
target.style.display = "none";
}
return false;
}

Thanks

Roger,

Did you take a look at editconfig.php in the admin folder? The code is there that does the "swap" on the admin page.

I make no claim to understand it.....

Thanks Scotty.

I'd looked at the similar thing on some other pages' code, but hadn't quite got my head around it. But another hour this morning and I've got it figured, including hiding the word "more" when the extra text is expanded.
