Show Hide Div

[wilberforce2]

I have been using a simple show hide function in JS example below to hide a Div (the default is hide)

function showHide(elementId, show) {
	var element = document.getElementById(elementId);
	if (show == 'true')
		{
			element.style.display = "block";
		}
		else
		{
			element.style.display = "none";
		}
}

The problem that I am having is after the page is viewed and the user navigates away, if the back button is pressed in IE on a PC the div is hidden again. I have tried to check unhide the div but the JS runs before the page is completed even when the function call is the last thing on the page.

I am completely stuck with this problem it works fine in firefox and safari on the Mac. Does any one have any ideas to help me solve this problem?

Thanks

Try using a cookie or session variable.
