Problem with display:block / none in IE

1
Hello there,

i have a small javascript that toggles one of two <div>'s from display:none to display: block. This works perfectly in every browser, except IE (obviously). Can anyone think why?

Here is the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function toggleDiv(id)
  2. {
  3.     document.getElementById("optdiv1").style.display = "none";
  4.     document.getElementById("optdiv2").style.display = "none";
  5.  
  6.     document.getElementById(id).style.display = "block";
  7.         document.getElementById("select_2").selectedIndex = 0;
  8. }
  9.  
  10. function hideDivs()
  11. {
  12.     document.getElementById("optdiv1").style.display = "none";
  13.     document.getElementById("optdiv2").style.display = "none";
  14. }
  15.  
the functions are called with an onClick event of a drop down menu item (<select> tag).

Thank you!

It may be possible that IE does not recognize onclick. Could onchange work for what you need?
