In styles have "visibility: hidden" if you want the division initially
hidden.
In the following function theMenu is the division id.
theAction is either "visible" or "hidden".
function showMenu(theMenu, theAction) {
if (document.getElementById)
{document.getElementById(theMenu).style.visibility = theAction;}
else if (document.layers) {document[theMenu].visibility = theAction;}
else {document[theMenu].style.visibility = theAction;}
}
It works for me but I give no guarantees.
