There shouldn't be a space between the and _

It should be = the_change

i tried it same thing same error

there is no space

Do you have a link to your page so I can see it?

I have copied and pasted the code back from this site, retried it and it still works fine in IE6, 7 and FF for me.

its on the intranet site

this is the message i get in firefox

Error: document.getElementById(the_div) has no properties

i did the alert for testing

function changeDivcr(the_div,the_change)
{
alert(the_div);
alert(the_change);
document.getElementById(the_div).style.display=the _change;
}

so the output is div name and then block

so its working

is the syntax right richyrich

The syntax is right. I'm assuming there isn't a space in the_change.

How are you calling this function? It should be called for each div with the_change variable being alternated between block and none depending on whether you want to show or hide the div.

i copied ur same code richyrich

i just dont get whats wrong

the parameters names are unique

Ok i found out whats going on

function changeDivcr(the_div,the_change)
{
alert(the_div);
alert(the_change);
document.getElementById(the_div).style.display=the _change;
}

when the alert is fired it always tells me reservecash

when i select credit card i still get the alert reservecash when it should be reservecredit

dont worry there is no space the_change

I changed this line

document.getElementById(the_div).style.display=the _change;

to

document.getElementById('the_div').style.display=t he_change;

now there is no error

but it still doesnt show the div
