Instead of relying on 'onLoad' will it work if you just dropped the onShow()
call inline in the page somewhere near the end?

Not sure if it will work tho, worth a try...

Subject: [cfaussie] OT: javascript and the back button


Firstly, i apologise for being the source of most OT posts for the last
couple
of days... this will be my last for the week. Promise. Although, Taco's
thread
seems to be catching up nicely... aaaaannnnywayyy :)

heres the prob...

I've got a simple HTML form... certain form elements are hidden based on a
radio
button selection. Im doing this with javascript/onClick and switching the
"style.display" property (simple stuff).

When the user submits the form and uses the BROWSER's back button... each
form
value retains its selected/typed value (as it should). But(!) my form
elements
(which should be turned on based on the selected radio button) are always
hidden.

Heres the javascript:
/////////////////////////////////////
function show() {
if (document.getElementById){
if(document.almanac.almanacTypeid[1].checked) {
document.getElementById("eventstuff").style.display = "block";
}else{
document.getElementById("eventstuff").style.display = "none";
}
}
}
show();
/////////////////////////////////////

As you can see, i call the show() function when the page loads. But when the
browsers back button is used, its not called... why? anyone? how can i get
around this? am i dreaming? where am i? hello..?

cheers,
