Hidden/Visible Style in I.E 1

[iaresean]

Hey all,

In M.I.E I can make a object disappear using the following javascript code: ...style.visibility = "hidden";

but using this code to make it reappear does not work: ...style.visibility = "visible";

Idea why it works in NN and Mozilla but not I.E?

Thanks in advance!

Sean.

works fine for me in IE and Moz

<div id=&quot;foo&quot;>foo</div>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;hide&quot; onclick=&quot;document.getElementById('foo').style.visibility = 'hidden';&quot; />
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;show&quot; onclick=&quot;document.getElementById('foo').style.visibility = 'visible';&quot; />

I seem to have found the problem.

In the following code:

[COLOR=green]
        function selectChange(formname) {
                var selectboxid=("rectype"+formname);
                var mxvalueid=("mxvalue"+formname);
                
                var selectedval = window.document.getElementById(selectboxid).value;
                
                alert("selectboxid is " + selectboxid + " mxvalueid is " + mxvalueid + " selectedval = " + selectedval);
                if (selectedval == "MX") {
                        window.document.getElementById(mxvalueid).style.visibility = 'visible';
                }
                else{
                        window.document.getElementById(mxvalueid).style.visibility = 'hidden';
                }
        }

The selectedval variable has no value in I.E, but has one in Moz. This means that my if else statement always goes to the else part meaning, invisible only.

Is there a different method to getting the selected value in a select box in I.E.?

Thanks in advance.

Sean.
