Firefox browser style.display issue (IE works fine)

[RonY]

I have a dropdown which calls SetTimePeriod method on change the selection. In the JS function, I reset the field style.display based on what the selection is. This works fine with IE but not working with Firefox browser.

The firefox browser has problem to display a field after its style.display is reset. At the end of the JS function, I printed out the fields style.display value. They are set correctly. How to resovle this?

My JS is :

function SetTimePeriod(reportTimePeriod, reportTypeName, fromProfile) {
       var odate = document.getElementById('odate'); // id for td
       var sdate = document.getElementById('sdate'); // id for td      
       var ddate = document.getElementById('ddate');  // id for div     
       var startday = document.getElementById('startday');  // id for div            
       var periodLabel = document.getElementById('periodLabel');  // id for td     
       var periodList = document.getElementById('periodList');  // id for div            
 
    if(condition){
       periodLabel.style.display="none";
       periodList.style.display="none";
       ddate.style.display="block";       
       startday.style.display="none";
       odate.style.display="block";
       sdate.style.display="none";
   }else{
       periodLabel.style.display="block";
       periodList.style.display="block";
        startday.style.display="none";
        ddate.style.display="none";  
        odate.style.display="none";
        sdate.style.display="none";
    }
    alert(" SetTimePeriod - periodLabel = "+periodLabel.style.display+" - periodList = "+periodList.style.display+" - odate = "+odate.style.display+" - sdate="+sdate.style.display+" - ddate="+ddate.style.display+" - startday="+startday.style.display);
  }
 

Thanks,

For a table cell (td element), the correct style.display setting is "table-cell". Unfortunately, this is not supported in IE which uses "block" instead.

To work around this, set style.display to the empty string "" which should set it to the default display.
