[Javascript] IE work-a-round question (re: checkboxes)

[J. Lester Novros II]

Dear Tedd,

This may be too obvious but whenever I get confronted with such a 
quandary, the first thing I do is alert the offending element/variable in 
xPloder to see what /it/ thinks my code should do, i.e.

function HideTimedLayer(id)
     {
     document.getElementById(id).style.display = "none";
     var id2 = 'c' + id[2] + id[3];

     alert(id2 + '\n' + document.getElementById(id2));

//    document.getElementById(id2).checked = true;
     }

m$' poor excuse for its equiv of the Fox's DOM Inspector might also be 
helpful: it allows you to see what xPloder's, admittedly dim, view of the 
DOM of your document is so you can check (the IDs of) your elements.

Oh, and FWIW, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of m$ holding 
back tech developments. I, too, suffer daily.

Just my 0.02 Eur.
