I am using this script to show hide layers;

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

function show(id)
{
eval("document.all." + id + ".style.visibility = 'visible';");
return;
}

function hide(id)
{
eval("document.all." + id + ".style.visibility = 'hidden';");
return;
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href = "#" onclick = "hide('layer1');"
</body>

This works fine on IE and Opera but it isn't working on Mozilla or Netscape7. Any ideas why? Or what I should use?

LoL...my fault the link I posted earlier only works with NS4+ but <6 browsers

try this..typically there is not much diff between IE6+ or NS6+ browsers functionality for hiding or showing a layer

Mozilla and NS do not support document.all. That is an IE only thing. You should use the W3C DOM method document.getElementById(). The following will work in the majority of browsers:function show(id) {
if (document.getElementById)
{document.getElementById(id).style.visibility = "visible";}
else
{if (document.layers)
{document.layers[id].visibility = "show";}
else
{document.all[id].style.visibility = "visible";}
}
}
