I needed to hide and show som DIV sections,
There are many scripts on the net for this. I downloaded that allows
me to open a hidden DIV from inside a DIV than is itself hidden. This
accomplished I was pleased with my work.
That was until I saw the mess in Firefox which ignores everything I
tell it to do and opens all the DIVs regardless on load. Forgetting
the browser war jargon as to why Firefox would release a program that
doesn't work with common code I just need a way of doing this so it
works in Firefox AND MSIE and anything else out there.
function InsertContentme d(tid) {
if (
document.getEle mentById(tid).s tyle.display == "none") {
document.getEle mentById(tid).s tyle.display = "";
document.regfrm s.cgfnm.focus() ;
}
else {
document.getEle mentById(tid).s tyle.display = "none";
}
}
I am opening and closing a hidden DIV with a click call. (It opens it
when it is closed and it closes it when it is open, The other standard
way of doing this does not work for me as I need this to work from
withing a parent DIV that is itself opened by another Javascript
function.
Any and all help greatly appreciated

Solved!
I was having trouble earlier when I wrote this code so I changed a
couple of <DIVtags to <ptags. It was these that were faulting.
Firefox does not allow <ptags to have a [ style="display: none" ]
component. Strange but true, when turned back to DIV it works
perfectly (even on MSIE). I dread to see my site on other browsers but
know I must......
Sorry to have disturbed you good people.....
However, a wider issue and OT but these differing Internet browsers
are a headache, rather like a country allowing people to drive on the
left and ride side of the road at the same time. I dont care which one
but wouldn't life be jollier if all the companies making browsers bar
one gave up and deleted their products? What's the point of more than
one?

It only seems so. You have merely found a workaround to the problem as

Unlikely. Chances are that <http://validator.w3.or g/would have shown
nesting errors.

Nonsense.

Which would indicate instead that either your markup or your script so far
is of poor quality, for <p style="display: none">...</pworks fine in my Fx
3.0.1 and all other CSS-capable UAs.

Don't be sorry for *that*.

I agree with PointedEars. This claim is completely untrue. I wrote
the
following program and it works perfectly on all browsers I tested it
on.

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaS cript">

I'd like to add that I checked this code on IE(5,6,7,8b) and
Firefox(infancy-3.0),
after all, checking for browser compatibility is kinda part of my job.

No it wouldn't. Especially if the one that remains was IE.

There you may have syntactically Valid markup, but not Valid CSS;
in a CSS property declaration, the property value is *required*.

Actually quite a few people think it would. Which is why there are

There now exist ecmaScript and W3C DOM standards. Yet even though
Microsoft sit on these committees they still do not implement these
standards in IE when the don't feel like it. That is the main cause of
your browser problem.
If there was a sports competition where one side made up it's own
rules as it went along, would it be fair to disqualify all of the
other teams that play by the agreed rules?

I agree that the code is error-prone but is sufficient as an example.

Because the `language' attribute is deprecated, it doesn't mean that
it
might not work. It is mainly there for backward compatibility. People
still
use browsers that can not evaluate MIME-types in attribute values.
