Display div

[nickdel]

Hi, I have a hidden div on my main page and I would like to be able to make this visible depending on the response from the server. I tried returning a response of:

<script language=javascript> document.getElementById("AboutYou").style.visibility="visible";</script>

this however doesn't work

can anyone think of a way to do this?

I would have thought returning "block" and "none", and simply setting the "display" style to the returned value would be the best bet.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Of course, that should have said "block" [!]or[/!] none" - returning both would be fruitless ;-)

Thanks Dan, but I dont think I quite get what you mean! (Sorry!) Can you give me an example?

Cheers

Have your AJAX call return the string "none", or the string "block". In your callback function, simply set the "display" style to whatever the return value was.

Hope this helps,
