Hide the text from showing

[ricmch]

With the following code I want to hide the txt with out having to re write the whole page ... Or is that my only option?

<SPAN ID="copytext2" STYLE="height:*;width:200;background-color:#ffffff;Font size:10">
Not Contacted will attempt again on
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var currentTime = new Date()
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
var day = currentTime.getDate() + 1
var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year)
//-->
</script>
</SPAN>
<TEXTAREA ID="holdtext2" STYLE="display:none;">
</TEXTAREA><br><br>
<BUTTON onClick="ClipBoard2();">Next Day</BUTTON>

You could run a **.style.visibility = 'hidden' command from a (body onload=***) or, if you have other things to do at startup, in a function theonload kicks off. I often have something like

function startup() {
  document.penta.DeBugging.checked=false;
  var dloc = document.location.toString();
  var DeBugging = document.getElementById("DeBugging")
  if (dloc.slice(0,4) != "file") {
    DeBugging.style.visibility = 'hidden'; }
}

in my pages to populate text areas with test data from a checkbox only available when running the page from my computer.
