the following code works alright on IE but mozilla gives me the following error:

Error: testhide is not defined

help. Anyone?


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>

<script language="JavaScript">
function test() {
testhide.style.display="none";
}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="test();">

<span id="testhide">Testing</span>


</body>
</html>

Mozilla gives you headach because the code you are writing

testhide.style.display="none";

is not the correct format in W3C standard compliant browsers

use the following patter

document.getElementById("testhide").style.visiblity="hidden";

to un hide an object

document.getElementById("testhide").style.visiblity="visible";

Cheers

testhide.style
