[Orgmode] Some Javascript Adventures

[Ian Barton]

Yesterday on my bike ride I was listening to an old FLOSS Podcast about 
jQuery. There are a few things that Sebastian's org-info-js doesn't do, 
that I would like. Unfortunately, my knowledge of javascript is almost zero.

However, the jQuery library seems to have excellent documentation. More 
importantly using jQuery seems to mostly protect you from trying to 
debug your code on lots of different browsers, since the jQuery author 
has already done it for you.

After some experiments I cam up with the following snippets which toggle 
the visibility of DONE tasks and also timestamps. Hope someone finds 
them useful!

<script 
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"; 
type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" >
<!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/

     $(document).ready(function(){

       $('#toggletimestamp').click(function() {
            $('span.timestamp-wrapper').toggle();
       });

       $('#toggledone').click(function() {
            myParent = $("span.done").parent();
            myParent.toggle();
       });
     });
/*]]>*/-->
</script>

You can set up a buttons to call these functions:

<input type="submit"
 name="toggletimestamp"
 value="Toggle Time Stamp"
 id="toggletimestamp" />

<input type="submit"
   name="toggledone"
   value="Toggle Done"
id="toggledone" />
