Hide item and attributes of another item.

[ArtWerk]

This works no problem on Firefox, but do I need to do something to get it to work in IE. It only hides the <span> item, but doesn't get rid of the border and background color.

JAVASCRIPT:

function hideBox(id){
	document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor = "";
	document.getElementById(id).style.border = "none";
	document.getElementById("hider").style.display = "none";
}

SPAN

<span id="hider" class="noprint"> - <a onclick="hideBox('downtown');" class="jsLink">hide highlight box</a></span>

DIV

<div id="downtown" style="float:left; padding: 5px; border:1px solid #CDCF00; background-color:#FEFFBF;" class="address">

Try using single quotes in you javascript. And, by the way, to hide the div, it enough just to toggle the display property:

function hideBox(id){
    document.getElementById("hider").style.display = 'none';
}

try removing the className as well.

    document.getElementById("hider").style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById("hider").classname = "";

... sorry, it should've been like this

<span id="hider" class="noprint"> - <a href="javascript:hideBox('downtown');" class="jsLink">hide highlight box</a></span>

... and ...

function hideBox(id){
    document.getElementById(id).style.display = [COLOR=red]'[/color]none[COLOR=red]'[/color];
}

... sorry -again. Forget what I wrote. Rubbish. Better if I just go to bed now ;-)

well, 1. i don't want to hide the DIV, only the SPAN. The DIV has text and I just want to get rid of the border and background color. The SPAN is getting hidden fine in both IE and FF, but the DIV doesn't do anything in IE. I will try single quotes, but I don't think that's going to do much.
