Wordpress Javascript Index Loop

O

ovation

I want to use javascript to display the categories that the post is
filed under when a icon/image is clicked. The list of categories
should expand at the bottom of the post under the icon(s).

This works great on the single post page, but the index (main) page
lists 10 posts, and it will only work on the first post. No matter
what post icon is clicked the first post expands. I think I
understand the logic behind this, but is there any way around it?

Here is the code:

`<a href="javascript:Effect.Combo('file', {duration: 0.5});"
title="Filed Under"><img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/
images/file.gif" /></a>

<div id="file" style="display: none;">
<?php echo ''; _e(get_the_category_list(', ')) ?></div>`

Stop right there.http://www.jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_24


And you've got this 10 times? IDs must be unique in a document.
Validate. Validate. Validate.

Thanks for the link, but I don't think you understand what I am trying
to do, or at least understand that I know it doesn't work. What I'm
looking for is something that does work within the index loop of
wordpress when you have multiple posts on one page. I'm not going to
recode it every time I post something new.

<?php echo ''; _e(get_the_category_list(', ')) ?></div>`


Thanks to "Kjell Bublitz" I have a solution. Here it is if anyone
needs it:

<a href="javascript:Effect.Combo('file<?php the_ID(); ?>',
{duration: 0.5});" title="Filed Under"><img src="<?php echo
bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/file.gif" /></a>

<div id="file<?php the_ID(); ?>" style="display: none;">
<?php echo ''; _e(get_the_category_list(', ')) ?></div>

Thanks to everyone.

Who is "Kjell Bublitz"? Did you multi-post? Tsk-tsk. GG strikes again.

Thanks to everyone.

Funny that "solution" exactly addresses the problem David Dorward
pointed out to you. David: "And you've got this 10 times? IDs must be
unique in a document."

Apparently you either ignored our did not understand the folly of <a
href="javascript:... the JavaScript pseudo-protocol. Reread his link

Do you really want to know what to do with your links? You people
really become assholes when you can't answer a question. I KNEW WHY IT
WASN'T WORKING! What I was asking for was a solution, but I guess
that was over your head.

Yes, you're *much* smarter than the people who took the time to try to
help you.

You knew your problem was duplicate IDs but could not see a way to
remedy it? Priceless.

Well I know enough about the pitfalls to *not* use the pseudo protocol
"javascript:"
