How to show/hide ALL objects with a certain id?

[KathyB]

Hi, I'm using a simple show function, called from a button.

function show(rowId) {
var hideRow = "View_" + rowId
document.getElementById(showRow).style.display ="block";
}

QUESTION: I'm using xsl and can have more than one table row with the
specific rowId, and I want ALL of them to show when the button is
clicked for that rowId. But although the html source is there, I only
get the first row with the rowId.

New to this...where am I going wrong please.

Thanks, Kathy

p.s. IE 5.5 used only on intranet...so no cross browser needed.

You can't have more than one object with a particular ID. IDs are
unique. Set the rows to have the same class and parse the DOM looking
for the class that matches your criteria.
