Re: Ajax Link - How to exchange/toogle a link?

Hi heohni,

In these instances I normally include both links in the original view
& then use CSS to hide 1, & JS to toggle them when required. you can
change the class on a parent element using JS to make the toggle
happen...

HTML...
<span id="link_container" class="show_link_1">
<a id="link_1">Link 1</a>
<a id="link_2">Link 2</a>
</spam>

CSS...
#link_container.show_link_1 #link_2 {
display: none;
}
#link_container.show_link_2 #link_1 {
display: none;
}

And then use the JS (in jquery format)...
if ( $( '#link_container' ).hasClass( 'show_link_1' ) ) {
$
( '#link_container' ).removeClass( 'show_link_1' ).addClass( 'show_link_2' );
} else {
$
( '#link_container' ).removeClass( 'show_link_2' ).addClass( 'show_link_1' );
}

There are, of course a couple of other options, including hiding 1 of
the links & using

$( '#link_container a' ).toggle();

... but I prefer the 1st option in case a browser hiccup causes both
links to show at once, meaning they both appear & re-apear at the same
time. Not sure how common a problem this would be though.
