Simple BugBase Question

mikener · September 11th, 2009, 12:20 PM

I have been playing around with BugBase. I really like how you hide and show the search criteria. I am new to Javascript, so hopefully my question won't seem foolish.

While playing around I wanted to see what would happen if I changed the javascript function ExpandCollapsePanel so that it would not change the style on the reportingSection div. So I commented out both lines of code that set the style on the reportingSection.

What surprised me is that commenting out that the two lines of Javascript had no affect on how the program ran. I was still able to expand and collapse the search criteria. I would appreciate understanding why.

Thanks so much

Hi there,

Can you provide a litte more information? What exactly did you comment out?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Here is the code:

Code:

function ExpandCollapsePanel(expand)
{
if (expand)
{
document.getElementById('collapse').style.display = 'none';
// document.getElementById('ctl00_plcMainContent_reportingSection').style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById('expand').style.display = 'block';
}
else
{
document.getElementById('collapse').style.display = 'block';
// document.getElementById('ctl00_plcMainContent_reportingSection').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('expand').style.display = 'none';
}

IIRC, that code is in the ClientScripts.js file, right? If so, maybe this is a caching issue? Have you tried a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) or clearing your cache?

Clearing my cache did the trick. Thanks so much, that would never have occurred to me.
