Showing or hiding several elements with one conditional script
To apply one conditional content script to several elements, you have to use a CSS class or
HTMLelement as the selector of the script. When using a CSSclass, apply that class to the
elements in question:
1.
Double-click the conditional script in the Scripts pane to reopen it, or create a new
conditional content script and follow the actions described in "Showing or hiding
elements using the Conditional Content Script wizard" on page613.
2. Change the selector to a CSS class (for example, .male) or to an HTML element with a
certain CSS class (for example, p.male). See "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page607
for further explanation on selectors.
3. Apply the same CSS class to all elements that should be shown or hidden under the
condition that you have set in the conditional script. Click each element and type the class
(without the preceding dot) in the Class field.
Showing or hiding a text selection
When you right-click on an element and make it conditional, the element as a whole will be
made conditional. This happens even when you select a few words in a paragraph and right-
click those words; the paragraph as a whole will be made conditional.
It is, however, possible to partially show or hide a paragraph or a line item in a list. Before you
can do that, you have to select the text that you want to be shown or hidden and wrap it in a
span element first:
1. Select the part of the text that you want to make conditional.
2.
Right-click the selected text and click Wrap in span.
3.
Type an ID and/or a class. An ID is fine if this is the only thing that should be shown or
hidden on a given condition. Use a class if there is more that should be shown or hidden
on the same condition.
4.
Start creating a conditional content script from the Scripts pane. Use the ID or class as
the selector of the script. See "Showing or hiding elements using the Conditional Content
Script wizard" on page613.
