Originally got this code from Zyloch, and works perfectly for my needs, now i would like to expand it but am having difficulty doing so--i think i am thinking about it in the wrong way is all-- but was wondering if this could be adjusted?-
function toggleContrast(show, hide)
{
var showObj = document.getElementById(sh
var hideObj = document.getElementById(hi
showObj.style.display = '';
hideObj.style.display = 'none';
}
Call it like this:
toggleContrast('test1', 'test2');
and for the button to show test2 div,
toggleContrast('test2', 'test1');
Currently this can swap between 2 layers, but i would like to be able to turn off any number of layers, and turn on only the one i select. thanks so much, let me know if i can be clearer and give more info.

Okay, here is a very cut down version(hopefully not too messy) of 3 main div's with 3 different <a> tags in each div. Sort of like folder tabs at the top of each div. What i would like to do is be able to switch to each main div by pressing the "tabs" at the top. Currently the code above works for two div's, but i would like it to work for as many as i need, say if i made a larger overall table and wanted to put 10 folders(in this case div's) on top of each other and wanted to switch between any one at any time. Take a look and see if my explanation is okay.

zvonko, on your original comment, i'm sorry i don't understand, but if i had 3 div's on a page, and i had <a> tags that turned on one div while turning off the others, would your code work for that?- i'm not sure how to integrate it.--really all i was looking for was a way to add more than two div's to your original code. i believe your new answer does this but i am not sure how to go about, my example up above might not explain my case, i am sorry for this.
Honorgod, i was wondering about implementation on your code as well?- could you give me an example of div's turning off and on, so i make sure i understand? thanks

Perhaps you could uses a list of id's in each string.
function HideAndSeek( showList, hideList )
{
var hide = hideList.split( ',' );
for ( var i = 0; i < hide.length; i++ ) {
document.getElementById( hide[ i ] ).display = 'none';
}
var show = showList.split( ',' );
for ( var i = 0; i < show.length; i++ ) {
document.getElementById( show[ i ] ).display = '';
}
}
HideAndSeek( 'test1,test2,test3', 'testA,testB,testC' );
or
HideAndSeek( 'testA,testB,testC', 'test1,test2,test3' );
