i have this:

[QUOTE]

<li class=”open” id=”navlist1_1″><a href=”#” onclick=”navlist(‘navlist1_1’);”>text</a></li>

[/QUOTE]

can i do it without the ID ?
to relate to the “parent” (li) somehow from within the function?

viewing from the [B]a[/B] tag, [B]li[/B] (as an object) is related as [B]this.parentNode[/B]

it works.. me happy !

but wierd..

this works:
<li><a href='#' onclick="navlist1(this);">text</a>[/QUOTE]

but this is NOT:
<li><a href='javascript:navlist1(this);'>text</a>[/QUOTE]

the difference is the first is ONCLICK and the second isnt.

to avoid scrolling up, if page is scrolled


but this is NOT:

Quote:

<li><a href='javascript:navlist1(this);'>text</a>
[/quote]

This should work, but only this way

<li><a href="javascript:void(navlist1(this))">text</a>

@ofirauthorNov 21.2005 — great !! Thanks !!!

i will use the [B]onclick="navlist1(this);return false"[/B]

but still the other one (the "void") is NOT working

Yes, sorry, I have forgotten that void() is in fact an unary [I]operator[/I], not a real function, so that whithin this syntax, [B]this[/B] returns the window object, not the nested object (as all the operators, if accept argument, the argument belongs to the window object).

Success!
