CSS Hidden DIV Form Submit
- by Michael
Using CSS, when a link is clicked it brings up a hidden DIV that contains a form. The user will then enter information and then submit the form. I'd like the hidden DIV to remain visisble, and a 'success message' to be displayed after submission. Then the user will have the option of closing the DIV. I can't get it to work without reloading the page, which causes the DIV to become hidden again. Any ideas?
<body>
<a href="javascript:showDiv()" style="color: #fff;">Click Me</a>
<!--POPUP-->
<div id="hideshow" style="visibility:hidden;">
<div id="fade"></div>
<div class="popup_block">
<div class="popup">
<a href="javascript:hideDiv()">
<img src="images/icon_close.png" class="cntrl" title="Close" />
</a>
<h3>Remove Camper</h3>
<form method="post" onsubmit="email.php">
<p><input name="Name" type="text" /></p>
<p><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="submit" /></p>
</form>
<div id="status" style="display:none;">success</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!--END POPUP-->
<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>
function hideDiv() {
if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById('hideshow').style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.hideshow.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else { // IE 4
document.all.hideshow.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
}
}
function showDiv() {
if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById('hideshow').style.visibility = 'visible';
}
else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.hideshow.visibility = 'visible';
}
else { // IE 4
document.all.hideshow.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
}
}
</script>
</body>
