Need immediate help closing one blind when another opens

[Herb]

Hey everybody,

I' m not a programmer. I need to be able to click on a link, have it
show info (blind, slide, appear) then have it close when another link
is closed. Like a toggle but with a different link.

I've tried adapting the accordion: http://www.stickmanlabs.com/accordion/
but I need to have my trigger links separate from the actual
accordion.

If anybody could help me quickly, I'd be most appreciative.

I'm not a programmer either, but here's how I would solve your problem

I assume that you have some function that does the "show info" stuff and that function is called whenever a click is made.
So I would store in a global variable the name of the element that is "opened"
But before you store this info, I would check if that variable has already some value which means that another element is opened and therefore you could close it

But again, I'm not a pro, so forgive me if I this solution is not elegant
