Trouble with div and css events

Hi all,

Yet again I've come across another something that runs on one browser on not another :laugh:

This works on IE6, but fails miserably under Mozilla (and most likely Netscape as well - untested)

Code:

<select name=share_date OnChange="swap(date_panel)">
    blah blah blahdy blah
<div id="date_panel" style="display:'none;'">
    blah blah blahdy blah
</div>

and the javascript that runs it is simply:

Code:

function swap(ctrl) {
    if (ctrl.style.display == "none") {
        ctrl.style.display = "";
    } else {
        ctrl.style.display = "none";
    }
}

does anyone know a similar idea that will work for Mozilla & Netscape (if needed), or something that will work for all three browsers without two code pieces dependant on browser type?

Thanks, J

RE: Trouble with div and css events

instead of referencing your object as 'data_panel', do it the proper, cross-browser, standards compliant way

document.getElementById('data_panel');
