Javascript powered Navigation, Alter HTML Code on Clicked Links

[chrismwiggs]

Hello all!

I'm having a bit of an issue here with my lastest project. What I'm trying to do is have a menu that a user would click one of two links which would change the targeted iFrame, then repeat for two more options, and again for two more.

It is essentially a filtering system for videos (the best way for you to see what I mean is to check out http://grph.cmwdesign.ca).

My actual issue here is the changing of the iframe href, and on top of that, I seem to not to be able to properly get my functions to run all the time.

Here is my Javascript:

		

		var categoryLink=new Array(); 
		var counter;
		var link = "";
		categoryLink[0] = "";   
		categoryLink[1] = "";   
		categoryLink[2] = "";   
		counter = "0";

$(document).ready(function() {
        $(".atonal").live('click', function() { {
          alert("sometext");
          		if (categoryLink[0]=="") {
					categoryLink[0] = "atonal";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
					
				
				else {
					categoryLink[0] = "";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
				}
          
        });
});

$(document).ready(function() {
        $(".tonal").live('click', function() {
          alert("sometext");
          		if (categoryLink[0]=="") {
					categoryLink[0] = "tonal";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
					
				
				else {
					categoryLink[0] = "";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
				}
          
        });
});


$(document).ready(function() {
        $(".being").live('click', function() {
          alert("sometext");
         categoryLink[1] = "being"; $("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
					
          
          		if (categoryLink[1]=="") {
					categoryLink[1] = "being";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
					
				
				else {
					categoryLink[1] = "";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
				}
          
        });
});

$(document).ready(function() {
        $(".doing").live('click', function() {
          alert("sometext");
          		if (categoryLink[1]=="") {
					categoryLink[1] = "doing";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
					
				
				else {
					categoryLink[1] = "";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
				}
          
        });
});


$(document).ready(function() {
        $(".abstract").live('click', function() {
                 alert("sometext");
          		if (categoryLink[2]=="") {
					categoryLink[2] = "abstract";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
					
				
				else {
					categoryLink[2] = "";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
				}
          
        });
});

$(document).ready(function() {
        $(".documentary").live('click', function() {
                 alert("sometext");
          		if (categoryLink[2]=="") {
					categoryLink[2] = "documentary";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
					
				
				else {
					categoryLink[2] = "";
					$("a.frame").attr('href', categoryLink[0] + categoryLink[1] + categoryLink[2]);
				}
          
        });
});

and the HTML in question:

<table>
<tr>
<td height="35" width="210" valign="top">choose your sound</td>
<td width="165" valign="top"><a href="#" id="atonal">atonal sounds</a></td>
<td width="165" valign="top"><a href="#" id="tonal">tonal sounds</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="35" width="210" valign="top">choose your text</td>
<td width="165" valign="top"><a href="#" id="being">being words</a></td>
<td width="165" valign="top"><a href="#" id="doing">doing words</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="35" width="210" valign="top">choose your image</td>
<td width="165" valign="top"><a href="#" id="abstract">abstract images</a></td>
<td width="165" valign="top"><a href="#" id="documentary">documentary images</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

I'm no Javascript wiz, so I'm sure I'm probably not going about this entirely the correct way. Any suggestions would be great!
