Re: FN-FORUM: Javascript problem (another one!)

Thanks Alan, I'm considering using the visibility option - but after trying
this out it seems fiddly, I keep getting an error (testing on IE6 ....
document.all.[...] is null or not an object).

I must double-check the version of netscape that's to be used, if it's 6
I'll continue to play with the innerhtml as that was probably closer to
working!
