[Javascript] hidden check box element

This works in IE, but in Netscape I think the only way to do this is to 
enclose the form in a <DIV>, and then access its style properties.  If
anyone has other info I would like to know.

<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
function showElement(toggle) {
 if (toggle == 'on') document.theForm.theCheckBox.style.visibility =
'visible';
 if (toggle == 'off') document.theForm.theCheckBox.style.visibility =
'hidden';
}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM name="theForm">
<input type="checkbox"  style="visibility:hidden" name="theCheckBox">
Are you there?
<P>
<A HREF="javascript:showElement('on')">show checkbox</A>
<A HREF="javascript:showElement('off')">hide checkbox</A>
</FORM>
