I'm making a form that is hidden until someone clicks on a link to open it.
I can hide the form, but there is just a large white space on the screen
where the form is hiding. Is there any way to close the white space when
the form is not showing? At the moment I'm using a <div> and hiding the
visibility, and then making it visible when the link is clicked:
<div id="form" style="visibility: hidden; etc... 10 1930

Just set the divs display to none instead of visibility to hidden, that's all.
Some Background: Visibilty just makes the div invisible without taking the room,
the div would take if it would be visible. A div is a block-Tag, so you can
switch a div on and off by setting display to block or none.

Thanks for that tip. It works great.
Do you know if there is an easy way to set my link to *toggle* the display?
Right now I have a link that shows the form, but to close it I had to make a
separate button on the form. I'd prefer that someone could click on the
link to open it, and then click again to close it.
This is my link:
<a href="javascript ://" onClick="showform('commentform')">

if you like yoyo efects :
<did id="form" style="visibility:hidden;display:none" ...>
onclick="with(document.getElementById('form').styl e){
visibility='visible';
display='block';
}"

Oooppss ! :-(

If you toggle between '' and 'none' (as suggested by Mick) it will work
for any element, block or otherwise. There are 13 different values for
the display attribute in the default HTML 4 style sheet, though not all
browsers support all of them.

Usually : yes
However, What I wanted to say was
the div(s) to show/hide is(are) 1st styled with { display: none }
so, I think the correct code would have to be :
d.display=d.display=='none'?'block':'none';
Of course, to be compatible with eventual disabled JS
it would be better :
- to use a function to hide the shown div(s)
- then to use Mick's code

That infers that '' is incorrect, which it isn't. Setting the display
to '' means that it will return to the default or whatever it might
have been set to in a style rule.
Using none/'' has further benefits as: the OP is free to apply a
display attribute via CSS rule should that be required at some later
time without any modification to the script; and the script is
suitable for any element, not just those that have display:block by
default.
Some scripts toggle using none/block for table elements, which works
fine in some browsers but not in those where table elements are styled
with the appropriate CSS table display attribute values (table-cell,
table-row, etc.). On the other hand, none/'' will work fine for both.
In light of the above, I think none/'' is a better solution.

I have 5 divs, and initially the lower 4 are hidden. I would like

Hi
Should a hidden form become visible when all other forms are closed?
This is what happens, and to ensure that it is always hidden, I have
to set the on got focus event handler of the form to
Me.Visible = False
to ensure that it is always hidden, no matter what.
