speaking of coder errors (with red face) the reason mine was not working before was you can't use the visiblity in the sub div(at least not this way).
<div id="sub1" visibility: visible;> it overrides the main div. made the changes to my code and all is working. (yep its still monday ;o> Thanks for the help Rodney -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 2:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: <DIV> question Another approach might do what you are after: document.all.main1.style.display = "none"; to hide the div, document.all.main1.style.display = "block"; to show the div Unless you have a specific reason for not using the Display style. I've done this extensively on my current project with no problems (except coder errors of course).

Like if the main div is hidden the subs will be as well without having to hide each one. example: <DIV name="main1"> <DIV name="sub1main1"></div> <DIV name="sub2main1"></div> </div> <Div name="main2"> <DIV name="sub1main2"></div> <DIV name="sub2main2"></div> </div> currently I can hide all three: function hide(){ document.all.main1.style.visibility= 'hidden'; document.all.sub1main1.style.visibility= 'hidden'; document.all.sub2main1.style.visibility= 'hidden'; document.all.main2.style.visibility= 'visible'; document.all.sub1main2.style.visibility= 'visible'; document.all.sub2main2.style.visibility= 'visible'; } but I was hoping it might be possible to hide the subs just by hiding the main.
