Question

I have a simple hide/unhide div section using simple JavaScript. I need to have an arrow image, which will toggle the content visibility when clicked, and I want the little arrow to toggle between right/down positions when the content is hidden and unhidden.

HTML content:

<a href="javascript:showOrHide();"><img src="Image_Files/Copyright.png" alt="BioProtege Inc" border="0" /></a> 
<img src="Image_Files/Copyright_Arrow_Hidden.png" alt="Arrow" border="0" />

<div id="showorhide">

</div>

JavaScript content:

function showOrHide() 
{
    var div = document.getElementById("showorhide");
    if (div.style.display == "block") 
    {
        div.style.display = "none";
    }
    else 
    {
        div.style.display = "block";
    }
}

You would just use simple Javascript to change the image’s src attribute between the two arrows, at the same time you are changing the display attribute:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showOrHide() 
{
    var div = document.getElementById("showorhide");
    if (div.style.display == "block") 
    {
        document.getElementById("img-arrow").src = "Image_Files/arrow-hidden.jpg";
        div.style.display = "none";
    }
    else 
    {
        div.style.display = "block";
        document.getElementById("img-arrow").src = "Image_Files/arrow-showing.jpg";
    }
}
</script>

<img src="arrow-hidden.jpg" id="img-arrow" alt="" />
