Calling Multiple functions simultaneously

Question

I'm trying to call two different functions for two different HTML elements at the same time, but the second function isn't being read at all. I'm also trying to use the id to specify which corresponding elements to grab data from. Here's what I have:

function changeImage(id)
 {
  var s = document.getElementById('showcase');
  var simg = s.getElementsByTagName('img');
  var slen = simg.length;

  for(i=0; i < slen; i++)
  {
   simg[i].style.display = 'none';
  }
  $('#' + id).fadeIn('slow', 0);

  function createComment(jim)
 {
  //alert('hello?');
  var d = document.getElementById('description');
  var dh = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
  var dlen = dh.length;

  //alert(dh);

  for(i=0; i < dlen; i++)
  {
   alert(dh);
   dh[i].style.display = 'none';
  }
  $('#' + jim).fadeIn('slow', 0);

 }

It appears you are missing the closing bracket} at the end of your changeImage function.

Also you could shorten your script substantially using jQuery:

function changeImage(id)
 {
  $('#showcase img').hide();
  $('#' + id).fadeIn('slow');
 }
function createComment(jim)
 {
  $('#description p').hide();
  $('#' + jim).fadeIn('slow');
 }

Also, I'm not sure why you have a zero inside the fadeIn() function? If you want the img/p to show instantly, just use .show()
