I had the same problem and find no way to achieve this under NS.
So I used the following :
function showElement(someTestForVisibility)
if (someTestForVisibility == false) {
document.myformobj.elementToHide.blur();
document.myformobj.elementToHide.value=; // remove
element
content
if(document.all) // IE specific
document.myformobj.elementToHide.style.visibility=hidden;
}
else {
if(document.all) // IE specific
document.myformobj.elementToHide.style.visibility=visible;
}
}
Now, you can put wherever you want a showElement(true) to make it appear
in
IE and
showElement(false) to make it disappear.
More, in the onFocus of the element to hide onFocus=showElement(test)
In IE, the element will disappear if test is false. Under Netscape, the
field won't
disappear but it will be locked
This was used to make a text field appear/disappear if some select box
had a
'OTHER' value.
In the select box, there was an
onChange=showElement(this.value=='OTHER')
and in the
textbox element there was a
onFocus=showElement(document.myformobj.elementToHide.value=='OTHER')
hope this helps.

Hello Friends i am facing a problem.i want to hide and show a text box
(html element ) at run time. using both netscape 4.x and IE 4.x the
problem is it works fine with IE if i use a style sheet with the element
and at run time using java script functions i can say
for hide
document.forms[0].element.style.dispaly=none;
for show
document.forms[0].element.style.dispaly=block;
but when i try to use style with netscape 4.x it does not support style

also it is difficult or rather not possible to access a div tag usin
netscape.

Re: Hide and Show Problem
I would do this on the server side by wrapping the text box in a logic tag. logic:present name=visibilityFlag html:text ... \ /logic:present But perhaps you have a requirement to do it on the client. - Original Message - From: Dinesh Chaturvedi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 4:56 AM Subject: Hide and Show Problem Hello Friends i am facing a problem.i want to hide and show a text box (html element ) at run time. using both netscape 4.x and IE 4.x the problem is it works fine with IE if i use a style sheet with the element and at run time using java script functions i can say for hide document.forms[0].element.style.dispaly=none; for show document.forms[0].element.style.dispaly=block; but when i try to use style with netscape 4.x it does not support style sheet. also it is difficult or rather not possible to access a div tag usin netscape.

XBrowser Hide And Show Problem
Hello Everybody I am using a div tag in my html page and trying to hide and show a text field at run time this works fine while using IE but when i am using Netscape 4.x.it gives me problem accessing document.forms[0].divName i have found that in netscape div is not a part of from abject and used document.divName also but still it is creating a problemdo anybody of you have a suggestion.or can anybody tell me where to consult.. Thanks Regards Dinesh
RE: XBrowser Hide And Show Problem
in netscape it is document.layers that contains all the div tags. And it it also helpful to realize that in netscape every layer itself is a DOM. You can probably find details in a not-out-of-date Javascript book.
