Manual talk:Collapsible elements

Doesn't work?
This didn't work correctly in my Mediawiki 1.12.0 install. Looking at the source code of the page it created, initially hidden content is indeed hidden, but there is no "Show" link to reveal the content. Do you have any ideas? --Gadlen 19:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not seeing the "hide" or "show" links
I'm running 1.13.4. any thoughts, could it be firefox? --69.244.124.138 01:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

still doesn't work any thoughts this what is is displayed:
Edited both common.js and common.css This is the header cell, which is always shown This cell is not shown by default.

(no hide or show links)

This does work for me (IE6, Firefox 3 and MediaWiki 13.4)
I had to change the function below the rest stay as it is. --AndreasMueller 21:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC) function createCollapseButtons {   var tableIndex = 0; var NavigationBoxes = new Object; var Tables = getElementsByClassName(document, "table", "collapsible"); for ( var i = 0; i < Tables.length; i++ ) { /* only add button and increment count if there is a header row to work with */ var HeaderRow = Tables[i].getElementsByTagName( "tr" )[0]; if (!HeaderRow) continue; var Header = HeaderRow.getElementsByTagName( "th" )[0]; if (!Header) continue; NavigationBoxes[ tableIndex ] = Tables[i]; Tables[i].setAttribute( "id", "collapsibleTable" + tableIndex ); var Button    = document.createElement( "span" ); var ButtonLink = document.createElement( "a" ); var ButtonText = document.createTextNode( collapseCaption ); Button.className = "collapseButton"; //Styles are declared in Common.css ButtonLink.style.color = Header.style.color; ButtonLink.setAttribute( "id", "collapseButton" + tableIndex ); ButtonLink.setAttribute( "href", "javascript:collapseTable(" + tableIndex + ");" ); ButtonLink.appendChild( ButtonText ); Button.appendChild( document.createTextNode( "[" ) ); Button.appendChild( ButtonLink ); Button.appendChild( document.createTextNode( "]" ) ); Header.insertBefore( Button, Header.childNodes[0] ); tableIndex++; }   var Tables = getElementsByClassName(document, "table", "collapsed"); for ( var i = 0; i
 * So, I think the plugin will work if you add these lines again and fix the syntax errors above (or just remove everything from your MediaWiki:Common.js except this:

Indication of collapsed/expandable status

 *  Moved from Meta-Wiki 

Hi,

This might be the wrong place to ask, but we were wondering if their is an easy way to know which status of the class="mw-customtoggle-myDivision" is set in terms of being collapsed/expandable.

Using the standard solution indicates the status through the display of either [Collapsed] or [Expand], in our case we trigger the area which need to be collapsed with the display of an icon, and as soon the user switches from one status to the other one we wanted to indicated a change through a change in the icon displayed. So in case the class contains "mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" display one type of icon, and in case of the class just being "mw-collapsible" display another icon. --MWJames 18:13, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
