Here's toggleVis in its entirety:

        function toggleVis(toggleID,clickedID)
        {
                if (clickedID.checked == true)
                {
 
document.getElementById(toggleID).style.visibility = "visible";
                } else {
 
document.getElementById(toggleID).style.visibility = "hidden";
                }
        }

This use of toggleVis, just above the one in question, works as
expected, using 'this':

    <input type="radio" name="IssueType" id="Problem" value="Problem"
onclick="toggleVis('impactdiv','Project');" /> Problem 
    <input type="radio" name="IssueType" id="Request" value="Request"
class="rdospace" checked onclick="toggleVis('impactdiv','Project');" />
Request 
    <input type="radio" name="IssueType" id="Project" value="Project"
class="rdospace" onclick="toggleVis('impactdiv',this);" /> Project</p>

which is why I suspect something about the hidden span, but can't find
anything to confirm or explain.

thanks
