Hi webmonkey8,
Great stuff - glad it helped!
The simplest approach is probably to have each "map" div after the relevant text paragraph - it won't position it exactly next to the link, but it will be close:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#maps div { display: none; position: absolute; background: white; border: 5px solid gray; padding: 5px; margin-top: 10px; }
#maps div.shown { display: block; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showMap(link) {
var linkClass = link.className;
var maps = document.getElementById('maps').getElementsByTagName('div');
// Show selected map and hide other maps
for ( i in maps ) {
if ( typeof(maps[i].className) == 'undefined' ) continue;
if ( maps[i].className.indexOf(linkClass) == 0 ) {
maps[i].className = linkClass + ' shown';
} else {
maps[i].className = maps[i].className.replace(/ shown$/, '');
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="maps">
