I am trying to hide/unhide some table elements. Namely, if the value in a Select element is true, then show the table element and based on the value of the select element, unhide "x" number of table cells that were originally hidden.
My current problem is that the table is visible before I affect any value for the Select element.
I am supplying the source code for the relevant section of my page. As well, I am attaching what the output looks like. It's the cells that say, "Payment No. 1, Payment No. 2" etc. that should be hidden at first.
