Thanks, that got it working.

And sorry, I thought this was the best place to ask, since it involved WordPress.

Okay, got it working.

I only need one page to have the hide/show, fortunately, because I couldn’t for the life of me get wordpress to load a file with the code on it.

But what I did was take the links page template I am not using, cleaned out all the code that loaded stuff on to the page (besides the sidebar, header, and footer) and then pasted the hide/show code right in there, from the website I showed the link to. I then made a new page, using that as the template and the show/find works!

So, thank you for your time and help. Got it working now. ??

OOohhh… okay. No wonder I couldn’t get anything to work. I should have just asked that first then. ??

So the code you posted, I would need to put it in one of the template files to make it work, to restate what you said?

Hmm.. couldn’t get that to work either. Loads as it would, as if Javascript wasn’t active. Tried it in IE and Firefox, made sure JS was on too.

So, it must be my method of adding the code.

To add it, I went to manage page -> edit -> code view, and pasted it in. Would that be in error? Maybe the script on the other page doesn’t work for that reason too?

Hmm.. just tried pasting the code in through phpmyadmin, didn’t work either. Oh and I don’t actually have a live website I could show, I’m building the website by test driving on my desktop. That wouldn’t cause problems, would it? Everything else has worked up till now.

And thank you for all the time you are giving to me. ??

Hmm.. yeah, I unfortunately don’t have the knowledge to write my own widget. Thank you for taking the time to post that though, I tried to play with it. =\

I did look around some more and found this script though. It would be perfect, and I think I could adjust it enough for what I want.. but it doesn’t work either.

I’m pretty sure I have put everything where it goes and have my link right, but it doesn’t seem to load from the .js file. Do you know if WordPress won’t allow that or that I just must be doing something wrong?

Wow, I feel dumb.. I remember doing this a long time ago now with another website. Thank you for re-educating me!

My code had been:

<img src=”wp-content/uploads/image.jpg”>

I switched it to:

<img src=”/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg”>

Now it works. Just a little slash needed. I won’t say how many hours I tried to figure that out, LOL.

Thanks again. ??
