Citing Sources

• Home: Snippets: frequently needed links & text (8-19-13)
• Citation Tools: Updates Code of Conduct Link (8-19-13)
• Databases/Articles: Database List: added proxy prefix to URLs (in Plain Text Editor) (8-16-13)
• Library Video on YouTube ( http://youtu.be/PLiga2kV_UY )

[This code will allow you to create links users can click to reveal explanatory text (toggles on and off).  The primary advantage is to save room on your pages so they are not so "texty" but also lends them an interactive feel]

Question

Edit the script below in the Plain Text Editor, per instructions that follow it

Click to Show/Hide

1. Go to the guide where you want to add the expandable text:
   • Click Add New Box,
   • Choose a Rich Text box,
   • Give it a name and click Create Box
2. Click add text.
3. Click the Plain Text Editor tab.
4. Copy this code and paste it in the Plain Text Editor box:
   
   <script type="text/javascript">
   function toggleMe(a){
   var e=document.getElementById(a);
   var i = document.getElementById(a + '_image');
   if(!e)return true;
   if(e.style.display=="none"){
   e.style.display="block"
   i.src = 'YOUR OPEN IMAGE URL';
   } else {
   e.style.display="none"
   i.src = 'YOUR CLOSED IMAGE URL';
   }
   return false;
   }
   </script>
   
   <p><a style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="return toggleMe('para1')"><img id="para1_image" src="YOUR CLOSED IMAGE URL" style="border:0;margin-right:5px;vertical-align:middle;" />Question</a></p>
   <div id="para1" style="display:none;">
   Answer to Question
   </div>
   
   You'll be reusing the code from the <p> tag through the </div> tag for each question/answer pair, so highlight and copy that section.
5. Change the items in bold:
   • YOUR OPEN IMAGE URL and YOUR CLOSED IMAGE URL: Replace these with the URLs for the images you want to appear when a question is open and closed. To use the green arrows in the example below, insert http://laimages.s3.amazonaws.com/data/imagemanager/382/Arrow-Down-GreenShade30.png for the OPEN IMAGE URL and http://laimages.s3.amazonaws.com/data/imagemanager/382/Arrow-Right-GreenShade30.png for the CLOSED IMAGE URL.
   • para1 in 2 places: these names must match and they must be different for each entry.
     So, if I had a question on library fines, I might change para1 to fines in both places.
     If I had another question on using the library catalog, I might change para1 to catalog.
     I could also choose to just use numeric increments for each entry: para1, para2, etc.
   • Question: Add the text of your question here.
   • Answer to Question: Add the answer to your question here.
6. Add another Question/Answer pair:
   • Paste the code you copied earlier (<p> tag through </div> tag).
   • Change the items in bold, as mentioned above. Be sure to change para1 to something different than the first entry. Otherwise, clicking this question will display the answer for the first question.
   • Repeat these steps for all of your question/answer pairs, ensuring you use a different name for each one.
7. Click Save Changes.
   You may need to refresh your page to see the content.

Here is the format to enter in "Edit Box Info" for the box title to make the title:
