The code below brings up 2 sidebars. The first sidebar appears when you enter an address and is a listing of title, address and get directions link sorted by actual mileage. When you click one of the get directions links, a second sidebar with directions appears beneath the first sidebar.
I want to change this so when you click one of the get directions links, the first sidebar disappears bringing up the 2nd sidebar with directions only. There should also be an X to click which takes you back to first sidebar and removes the 2nd sidebar with the directions.

This seems to be the code to bring up the first sidebar
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('side_bar');
This seems to be the code to bring up the second sidebar.
directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById('side_bar'));
I wasn't sure how to go about this was looking for something on swapping sidebars or replacing them but couldn't find anything useful. Could anyone show me how to do this?
