Hello

Can anybody see anything in the code below that would cause the span to to be working?




<html>
<head>
<title>New Page 7</title>
</head>
<script language="vbscript">

sub action_type
Select Case Document.all.ActionType.value
Case "New Action"
Document.all.OptionsLists.style.display = ""
Case Else
Document.all.OptionsLists.style.display = "none"
end select
end sub

</script>
<body>
<center>
<table border="0" width="900">
<tr>
<td align="center"><font face="Arial" color="#000080" size="6">Systems Management Center</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<p align="left">
<font face="Arial">Action Type:</font>
<select size="1" name="ActionType" onchange="action_type">
<option value="Select Action Type">Select Action Type</option>
<option value="New Action">New Action</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<span ID="OptionsLists" style="display: none">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table border="0" width="900">
<tr>
<td>
<form name="DevicesList">
<font face="Arial">Available Options</font>
</td>
<td align="center" width="449">
<font face="Arial">Selected Options</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" width="449">
<select name=AvailableOptions size=12>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
</td>
<td align="center" width="449">
<select size=12 name=SelectedOptions>
</select>
</from>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</span>
</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>


Thanks in advance.

<SPAN> is really meant to be used for inline purposes, not really for great chunks of HTML as you have here. <DIV> would be a better choice for that. Although if you just want to hide the table row then you could use the <TR> tag itself I guess.

Also, the syntax for hiding an element is hidden:

Code: 
<TR ID="OptionsLists" STYLE="display: [COLOR=red]hidden[/color];">
