Is there a way for me to add a collapsible window in my web page? What I want
is to have a link open a small window within a current window and give them
the option to close it. I have seen this on sites before, but I could not
find one for an example. Thank you!

You could either open a new window with a close button attached, or use an
Iframe (opened and closed by a button)

To see an example of a new window, go to my site and click on one of the
photos on the top of the page.
For an Iframe click on Open/Close News of this Site. (Close by clicking
again)

The code is on the site, but if you need further info, I can post it

Do you mean pop-ups?

There's a simple/free add-in for FP called Spawn...
http://www.jimcosoftware.com/addins.aspx

If that's what you mean.

Thank you both, it's not quite what I mean. I want the box to open within the
same page. I know I'm not explaining it right, I'm trying to find a site that
has what I mean. Thanks for your help

OK, I think I understand.

An Iframe will open in the same window.

See my site
Open/Close News of this Site

Does this do what you want?

If so, the code is
<button onclick="loadIframe('News','news.html')">Open/Close News of this
Site</button>
<iframe class="c1" id="News" src=""></iframe>

where loadIframe is a function which loads the file 'news.html' into the
Iframe 'News'. On the second click it hides the frame
function loadIframe(id,sPath)
{
var x = document.getElementById(id)
if (x.style.display != 'block')
{ x.src = sPath
x.style.display = 'block'}
else
x.style.display = 'none'
}

c1 is a style for the Iframe
..c1 {
display: none;
height: 200px;
width: 400px;
overflow: auto;
}

I wonder if acfrogg means collapsing paragraphs..sheesh I dunno what they
are called...you know like in FAQs lists? Can't be Iframes since they don't
"open"- since they're always opened.

That's what I mean, only with images instead of words. The Iframes will
probably work though. Thanks to you both for your help, I'm going to try that
and see what I can do.
You guys are great!

You may want to try Behaviors in FP as well. They're fun to mess with.

I know acfrogg has replied, but as a matter of interest

Yes, iframes are always open, but on my site I added a button which calls JS
to change the style to 'none'. This effectively closes the Iframe.

function loadIframe(id,sPath)
{
var x = document.getElementById(id)
if (x.style.display != 'block')
{ x.src = sPath
x.style.display = 'block'}
else
x.style.display = 'none'
}

As for collapsing paras, I am sure this could also be done. Unless acfrogg
has further questions though, I'll leave this for now.
