elearning- display one paragraph of text at a time
16 Jan 2003 22:01:01 J Ms posted:
attempting to use DW MX to create a Computer Based Training course (which of course will be Web Based Training when complete).
Need to display one paragraph of text at a time on the same screen, without scrolling. Each new paragraph should display after the user
clicks on an image on the screen (.jpg of a right arrow).
i thought about using javascript to set a variable to 0,
then display first paragraph,
change the variable to 1,
then display 2nd paragraph.
failed miserably, and now only have javascript jumble displaying
in the middle of my screen because code does not work.
is there an easier way????
thank you.

You could use hidden layers or DIV tags... or you could put each on a separate page.

As Connman21 suggested, this can be done using show-hide layers. Just create a layer for each paragraph and then initially set them to "hide". Then set up a "show layers" behavior on a button or link for the user to trigger the layer to "show".

btw - sorry for last post - it was blank.
Using layers sounds great !!
I do find that the location of layers jumps around when i preview in a browser.
can this be controlled by placing layer inside a table cell?
also - do i need to be concerned about file size? total website will have several
hundred screens when i'm finished. maybe that's not the issue, and i only need
to be concerned about loading time for each inidividual screen.
any thoughts??
thank you, thank you, thank you.
