Hi,
this is my problem:
1. There are two div elements in my page.
2. When the page loads only one is supposed to be visible.(This is where i'm getting stuck)
3. There are a series of checkboxes.
4. On clicking on one particular checkbox the first div element must disappear and the other div element must be made visible.
I'm able to make one div element appear and disappear but both appear when the page loads.
Please help.
A simple demo that will prevent div2 of showing itself if div1 is currently visible on the page:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var showDiv = function() {
var div1 = document.getElementById("div1");
var div2 = document.getElementById("div2");
if ( div1.style.display === "none" ) {
div2.style.display = "block";
return;
} div2.style.display = "none";
};
window.onload = showDiv;
// -->
</script>
</head>

Thanks for the code. It works fine.
My page has a lot of elements, so when the page loads you can see all the items for a second before they disappear because of the code.
Is there anyway property which sets their visibility to false when it loads itself so we cant see the unwanted items?
Hi,
I got the answer. I've used a css class to configure its display property as none. Now how do i access this property to set it?
As in how are the getters and setters for this method defined?
I won't be able to provide you example using getters and setters under my OPERA browser. But here's a little program that allows you to set display properties from any elements' inside your page:
