client side vbscript hide and show DIV tags 2

[ironhide1975]

Hey I have a form that has several areas I want to show and hide bases on what button a person chooses. I want to do this in vbscript instead of javascript. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Much appreciated.

You can use the visibility property.
I think "visible" is the value to show your div.
(I use javascript more often for this.)

<script language='vbscript'>
<!--
sub window_onLoad
	top.frame.divname.style.visibility= "hidden"
end sub
-->
</script>

There is also the CSS attribute [tt]display[/tt] which for a DIV is normally "block" but can be set to "none" to keep the DIV from being rendered at all. Unlike [tt].visibility = "hidden"[/tt] you can use [tt].display = "none"[/tt] to keep the DIV from taking up any space in the page as well as not having its content appear.

There are a few browser compatability issues with these CSS attributes, but if you are using VBScript you are most likely targeting IE 5+ anyway.
