Show/Hide Elements Question
Hello everyone,
I have been stuck on a JavaScript question and hoped someone here might have an answer.
Here is my situation:
I am currently designing a webpage that will have hide/show elements. The idea is to list names along the left-hand side, and when one clicks the name, to have the corresponding biographical information appear in a section to the right. I found code for this from an online tutorial.
The problem comes when I want to create a link on a separate webpage to a specific element. In other words, I would like to create a link elsewhere on the web that will load the webpage with the desired biographical information showing. I could not figure out a way to do this.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a way to create this kind of link? Or would there be better code to use for this purpose?
Thank you for your time! :)
