hi ...

do you have all divs with id's in your html? when do you call the function that throws the error? the first time you should call it is onload of your document, not during parse-time of it (while loading) ...

kind regards

hi ...

in that case we need to see more of your code ... because the following example is working:

[HTML]
<script>
function showL(){
hideAll();
document.getElementById('la1').style.visibility='v isible';
}

function hideAll(){
document.getElementById('la1').style.visibility='h idden';
document.getElementById('la2').style.visibility='h idden';
document.getElementById('la3').style.visibility='h idden';
document.getElementById('la4').style.visibility='h idden';
}
</script>

<body>
<input type="button" value="click" onclick="showL();"/>
<div id="la1">
test1
</div>
<div id="la2">
test2
</div>
<div id="la3">
test3
</div>
<div id="la4">
test4
</div>
</body>
[/HTML]

you get the error when the user clicks? is there any other method called?

kind regards
