script works in IE6 but not in FF3

[Tarantulus]

Hi All,

I have the following script in the head of my document

var state = false; function edit() {     document.getElementById('editor_area').style.display = state ? 'none' : 'inline';     document.getElementById('display_area').style.display = state ? 'inline' : 'none';     state = !state;     if (!state) document.getElementById('jump').focus(); }  

in the body the edit() function is called onclick.

it works in IE, but in FF it fails, and the error console displays "edit not defined"

can anyone explain why this is?

Thanks in advance

Can you show the HTML code? Are you sure you've set the IDs of the elements?

I'm sure the ID's are set, the error is referring to the function name not an element ID...

I can't see anything obvious (though I'm not sure why you're putting everything on one line), so the HTML code or how you're calling the function might help. It would be even better if you could put together a test page that demonstrates the problem.
