How do you dynamically change the STYLE of an element that's NOT a graphic? (SEE DETAILS)?

Question

I tried to name a

and on the click of a button:

function hideDiv(){
window. document. topdiv. style. visibility = "hidden";
}

(I used spaces to keep anything from being editted)

Why is it not working? Is the visibility of a non graphical element frozen? This works perfectly AS IS for all my images.

Try referring to the

by its #id. Then you can get a handle on it with document.getElementById("id"). It works for elements as well.

document.getElementById( 'brigadoon' ).style.visibility = 'hidden';

You want to use ... style. display = "none" and = "block" to display it again.
