I thing it should be:

if(thisMenu.sty le.display == "block")

The CSS style "display" can be none, block, inline, ''

And the rest. Granted, IE's lack of CSS 2 support render most of them
useless, however you should certainly include list-item. Anyway, see
the CSS 2 specification for a complete list
(<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#di splay-prop>).

I'm trying to do a nav list using list items. Roughly this is putting links styled display: block and with a background color. In IE5 (windows, haven't tried Mac yet), adding the display: block for the link adds a bit of whitespace between the list items. NS7.1 does not do this. Why the whitespace (about 5px)? Is it possible to get IE and NS looking

I'm having some problem here... I have a javascript I've downloaded that goes through all PNG files and enables the transparency channel in them for IE5.5+ by converting them to SPAN layers with the image as background. This works great until I put one of these PNG files inside a display:none block and later sets the block to display:block - then the SPAN (that was the PNG <img>) remains hidden.

Hi Im having problem in firefox with display:none/block. I have essentially 3 li elements. In each element there are a few nested div:s. Clicking on one of the divs, makes another div to display: block or none. Again this works in IE. In ff it has a bug. When the display is none for a div in the first li, then the next li (the one underneath) moves up to the right, looking very ugly. Is there someone who has had the

Hello, I have noticed that setting "display:block" for a link causes IE5 to add a line break after the link. Is there a way to stop it doing this? IE6 and compliant browsers don't add the line break. If you look at http://www.kidsinaction.org.uk/fd3/060524.html in IE5 you'll see what I mean. TIA

I try to understand what could be the source of a problem with displaying and hiding rows of tables using display:block/none. I've read selfhtml but could not find any hint about that. Any pointers why that can happen, or how I should take care of that type of problem/effect are highly appreciated. The problem... A couple times the hiding/displaying works, but _occasionally_ the entries are hidden but _blank lines appear_, instead.
