Javscript Issue in Firefox

Hi,

I am trying to add some simple javascript code to one my webpages as I need to hide a couple of divs on page load. Firefox does not seem to accept this code but all other browsers do. I have a similar issue with Firefox in the past and found a way around it. I would highly appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this issue so that I could tackle this Firefox problem I have once and for all.

Thanks in advance!


ISSUE

Firefox does not hide the divs and gives me the following errors:

script2 is not defined
script 22 is not defined

CODE


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>...</title>

<script type="text/javascript">


function initiate(){

counter=1;

script2.style.display = "none";
script22.style.display = "none";
}

...

</script>



</head>
<body onload="initiate();">

<div id="script2">
...
</div>

<div id="script22">
...
</div>

</body>
</html>

    hey there,

    why don't you force them to be "hidden" using css, by associating the divs with a class.

    that seems to serve your purpose with this function.

    you should also note that not all the browser use (display,visibility) the same.

    You need to use getElementbyId function to access style attribute in DOM3.

    function initiate() {
    ........................
    document.getElementById('script2').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('script22').style.display = 'none';
    ........................
    }
