Javascript for navigation working on certain submenus, but not others?

If you go to http://anderson.snappywash.com/, you will see that it's a nice looking site. The navigational submenus appear to be working, BUT if you inspect element, you will see that Under the PRICING tab, there are submenus that follow the exact calling actions as the others that do not get displayed. Specifically, under div#Price_links you will find them and you will see the others too (ie: Wash links, About Links etc.) they are using this JS:
function showDD(id) {
var element = id + "_links";
document.getElementById(element).style.display = "block";
}
function hideDD(id) {
var element = id + "_links";
document.getElementById(element).style.display = "none";
}
Why are the links under pricing not being displayed?
they follow the exact same "set-up" in terms of calling as the other submenus that are being displayed. I have been cracking my brain on this one for a little while and can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas? anyone?

I took a look at the site and this is what I saw.
Here's the HTML for the working item:
<img src="images/nav/unlimited.png" onmouseover="this.src='images/nav/unlimited_ov.png'; showDD('Wash');" onmouseout="this.src='images/nav/unlimited.png'; hideDD('Wash');" border="0">
Here's the HTML for the not working menu item:
<img src="images/nav/pricing.png" onmouseover="this.src='images/nav/pricing_ov.png';" onmouseout="this.src='images/nav/pricing.png';" border="0">
It seems like you left out the calls to showDD and hideDD in the item that isn't working.

The difference is that you are calling showDD in the onmouseover of the elements it's working on (example line 58:)
<a href="zoompass.cfm">
<img src="images/nav/unlimited.png" onmouseover="this.src='images/nav/unlimited_ov.png'; showDD('Wash');" onmouseout="this.src='images/nav/unlimited.png'; hideDD('Wash');" border="0" />
</a>
But not in the pricing image
<a href="pricing.cfm">
<img src="images/nav/pricing.png" onmouseover="this.src='images/nav/pricing_ov.png';" onmouseout="this.src='images/nav/pricing.png';" border="0" />
</a>

Switch and replace Images on click

Im trying to replace and switch pictures on click But im getting stack on my code. I can get the big picture to change but the small doesnt change.
here what i have so far :
html
<div class="image_container">
<a href="" >
<img class="big_image" src="picture1" />
</a>
</div>
<div class="pics_container">
<img class="lilla" src="picture2" />
<img class="lilla" src="picture3" />
</div>
$('.lilla').on('click',function(){
$('.big_image').attr('src',$(this).attr('src'));
$(this).attr('src',$('.big_image').attr('src'));
})
What i want is when i click on picture 2 or 3 it will be in the place of picture1 and the picture1 will take place of the clicked picture 2 or 3 .
In my example the small picture works good to replace picture1 but picture1 didnt replace the clicked one. what i have missed pls ?
working Demo fiddle here

You'll need a variable to store the source from the big image before you swap it out
$('.lilla').on('click',function(){
var big_src = $('.big_image').attr('src');
$('.big_image').attr('src', $(this).attr('src'));
$(this).attr('src', big_src);
});

I would apply a class on each picture then reference upon that. So in an on click function I would do the following.
Example
$('#imagereplacing).attr('src',$('.exampleClass').attr('src'));

Fancybox.. one image that contains more images

I just want my page to contain one image then once you click it.. you can move across and view more images.. is this possible?
Atm my fancy box is just one image showing one image..
Any help would be great, thanks

I use to work with Fancybox since earlier versions. What I do in that case is:
HTML:
<!-- this is the regular image -->
<a class="fancybox" href="leIMG-bigger-0.jpg" rel="leGallery"><img src="leIMG-0.jpg" alt=""></a>
<!-- this is the rest of the gallery... hidden -->
<div class="fancyboxHidden">
<a class="fancybox" href="otherIMG-bigger-1.jpg" rel="leGallery">
<img src="otherIMG-1.jpg" alt="">
</a>
<a class="fancybox" href="otherIMG-bigger-2.jpg" rel="leGallery">
<img src="otherIMG-2.jpg" alt="">
</a>
<a class="fancybox" href="otherIMG-bigger-3.jpg" rel="leGallery">
<img src="otherIMG-3.jpg" alt="">
</a>
<div>
CSS:
.fancyboxHidden {display:none;}
This way you are:
1) Using your full gallery (try the thumbs helper and will look great)
2) Indexing all the images for search engines
Hope this will help you, for a good example of this check out this site in source view.
PS: There is many ways to achieve what you want, you can create the gallery directly from JS or combine both ways. This is the way I choose for image indexing ;)

javascript examples display content boxes

I am trying to locate javascript code that, when I rollover an image, will make a box appear below the image and expand down (much like how a movie screen in a theater would roll from the ceiling to the floor). In that box, content would also appear, that I have previously added, that describes the image above. Already existing underneath the image I have a div with content in it...I would also like this div to be pushed down as the box described above expands down.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance!
C*
Forgot the code that I am using...so what is happening here is that I have a picture, and below it, a small box, that when I rollover that small box it changes color. So, I want to add, when I scroll over that small box, not only does it still change color, but the new vertical expanding box appears below it. I have javascript in a *.js file that handles the already existing rollover effect but it's quite long and I wasn't sure if I should add that (it was create by Dreamweaver when I created a rollover image).
<div class="images">
<figure class="images">
<img src="../images/Flower2.jpg" width="300" height="199" alt="Life">
</figure>
<figcaption class="content"><a class="typeB" href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image3','','../graphics/life2.jpg',4)"><img src="../graphics/life1.jpg" width="300" height="25" id="Image3" /></a>
</figcaption>
</div>

You don't give much information in your question about your current setup, but assuming that you have your HTML set out something like this:
<div>
<img id="tux" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Crystal_128_penguin.png" />
<div id="tux_desc" class="imgDesc" style="display: none">
<p>A cute penguin!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p>This text is part of the normal document flow</p>
</div>
Then you can use the following JavaScript (which makes use of jQuery):
$('#tux').hover(
function() {
$('#tux_desc').slideDown();
},
function() {
$('#tux_desc').slideUp();
});
You can see it working here: http://jsfiddle.net/wbAxm/1

something like this ought to to do it as long as the div to expand is directly after the image in the mark-up:
$(".class_for_images").on("mouseenter mouseleave", function() {
var content = $(this).next();
if (content.is(":visible")) {
content.slideUp();
} else {
content.slideDown();
}
});
If you want more than this, or it doesn't work, you'll need to post some code so that we can provide more detailed answers...

how to prevent fancybox from deleting the clicked thumbnail

Fist time using fancybox and it's not going so well.. starting to wish I didn't bother with it.
I have some thumbnails in a row, fine, then when I click one it opens the THUMBNAIL instead of the link whats worse it DELETES the thumbnail from the DOM. I've dug around in the fancybox src for the issue but there's a lot of it and I'll probably end up killing functionality so I thought I'd post here.
heres the code:
The raw HTML comes from CMS looking like:
<img src="http://blah..blah..from..flickr..001_s.jpg" alt="my image one" class="flickr-square" title="test image" longdesc="" data-url="http://blah..blah..flickr..detail..page" data-orig="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..001_b.jpg">
<img src="http://blah..blah..from..flickr..002_s.jpg" alt="my image one" class="flickr-square" title="test image" longdesc="" data-url="http://blah..blah..flickr..detail..page" data-orig="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..002_b.jpg">
I then run some stuff in backbone view render, the important bit is this:
var imgs = this.$el.find("img"); //:a jquery group of the img elements above
this.content = this.$el.find("span.postcontent");
//empty current
this.content.empty();
//make replacement
for(i= 0;i<imgs.length;i++)
{
var curImg = $(imgs[i]);
var curLink = $("<a/>");
curLink.attr("href",curImg.attr('data-orig'))
curLink.append(curImg);
curLink.on("click",function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.fancybox.open(imgs)
});
this.content.append(curLink)
}
I now have rendered html like this:
<a href="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..001_b.jpg">
<img src="http://blah..blah..from..flickr..001_s.jpg" alt="my image one" class="flickr-square" title="test image" longdesc="" data-url="http://blah..blah..flickr..detail..page" data-orig="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..001_b.jpg">
</a>
<a href="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..002_b.jpg">
<img src="http://blah..blah..from..flickr..002_s.jpg" alt="my image one" class="flickr-square" title="test image" longdesc="" data-url="http://blah..blah..flickr..detail..page" data-orig="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..002_b.jpg">
</a>
So far so good... now, when I click the link/thumb it does the fancybox thinggy but shows the THUMBNAIL not the linked image, tiny in the middle in it's lightboxy thing and whats really annoying is that the clicked thumbnail in the page itself has now been completely removed from the dom ie.:
<a href="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..001_b.jpg">
///THIS IS MISSING COMPLETELY..... ggggggrrrrr
</a>
<a href="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..002_b.jpg">
<img src="http://blah..blah..from..flickr..002_s.jpg" alt="my image one" class="flickr-square" title="test image" longdesc="" data-url="http://blah..blah..flickr..detail..page" data-orig="http://blah..blah..flickr..big..002_b.jpg">
</a>

I've never seen Fancybox used like that. Normally, you don't need to trigger $.fancybox.open like that. You can just bind fancybox() to the <a> tags.
HTML:
<a href="big-image.jpg" class="fancybox">
<img src="thumbnail.jpg">
</a>
JavaScript:
$('.fancybox').fancybox();
Try just using that function after you've got the DOM to look like that.
[edit]
I couldn't get your DOM manipulation to quite work, but I tested with this fiddle, and it seems to be working: http://jsfiddle.net/haRnQ/4/
NOTE: I didn't import the styles or images for the demo, so it will be unstyled, but it still works.

I'm answering and voting up the previous two because they both helped but were not the definitive answer. The documentation was not clear that if you use only the "group" as a jquery array you must also specify options therefore the correnct answer is to do this (passing two arguments):
$.fancybox.open(imgs,
{
href:this.href,
title:curImg.attr("title")
}
);

Try changing this
$.fancybox.open(imgs)
by this
$.fancybox({
href: this.href
});
because imgs is the collection of your thumbnails (all <img> elements), which are moved to fancybox on click but not moved back after close.
In any case I would recommend you to add a class to <a> otherwise any other anchor you may have in your page would try to open fancybox.

I believe Fancybox prefers wrapping your images in an anchor. This is important to note as Fancybox removes the anchor when activating a slide show to prevent clicking on the anchor when the modal is active.
Calling FB from the thumb behaves like you have experienced by deleting the thumb and not recovering it after the modal is closed.
This is my typical FB setup (not a thumb gallery):
<img src="image1.jpg" alt="" />
<div style="display: none">
...
</div>
