changing the login\logout bar accordingly?

[sempuritoza]

well im back again and this time i am trying to change the look of a certain area in my header.

i have this little "user login area" in my header and once a user has logged in i only want him\her to see the log out button and the "Welcome User" bit in the same area.

I have already performed the query and the information is back on my main page, i send back a var $string containing : yes,username

then i split the string and if the first part is yes then i welcome the user but this is the point where i would also need to make things disappear and re-appear etc, can anybody help me with this?

thanx alot

You can either use DHTML and set the visibility or you can convert that display into a JS function that uses document.write to populate the correct HTML.

if u give the <td> an id and reference it via the id as a style property of the id, then u will be able to make it visible or hidden, while you are at it, try the &quot;display&quot; property, I found it to work better than visible or hidden.
