            if (lastDiv1) {

                        document.getElementById(lastDiv1).className = "hiddenDiv1";

            }

            //if value of the box is not nothing and an object with that name exists, then change the class

            if (divName && document.getElementById(divName)) {

                        document.getElementById(divName).className = "visibleDiv1";

            }

}

</script>

                        <style type="text/css" media="screen"><!--

.hiddenDiv {

            display: none;

            }

.visibleDiv {

            display: block;

            border: 1px grey solid;

            }

 .hiddenDiv1 {

            display: none;

            }

.visibleDiv1 {

            display: block;

            border: 1px grey solid;

            }

</style>

hi,

can you post here your asp code that's calling the function from your .js file? thanks....

.JS files can include only script, nothing more nothing less.
having HTML inside .JS files is not possible.
when you have this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="showhide1.js"></script>

the file being "included" is "compiled" by the browser so it must be valid JavaScript.
for example, <B> is not valid JavaScript command.


to include HTML contents you must use <iframe> tags, or server side code.

Edit: sorry, noticed just now it's old thread... anyway, the information above might still be helpful for others.
