Hi Steve,
What about document.getElementById('something').style.display
when there is an element with an id.
In your example you would have to use
document.getElements.ByTagName("li")[2].style.display
(presuming you knew which list item you were targetting)
Also, the display property may not yet be set. Try checking:
var state = (document.getElementById(id).style.display=="" ||
document.getElementById(id).style.display=="none")?"none":"block";
