<font face="Arial">Hi Roland,<br /><br /> Instead of using style.visibility = "hidden", use style.display="none". Then, to change it back, you set the display to "inline" (it might be "block", but I'm pretty sure the default is "inline" for select elements; you can look it up if necessary).<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Peter Brunone<br /></font>

<font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">I need to dynamically hide and unhide a selection box based on the value selected in the first selection box. So if a user selects "a" in selection box, element id2 should be visible else it should remain hidden. I can use document.getElementByI("id2").style.visibility="visible" to make it visible and document.getElementById("ed1").style.visibility="hidden"; to make it disappear. The problem when element id2 disappears, it still keeps space there and it makes the form look bad. Is there a way to dynamically remove the space it occupies?</font>
