[Javascript] Re: showObject and hideObject functions ??

Wed Jun 6 11:21:31 CDT 2001

    Please reply to the list, and not directly to me; this way more people
will see your question and be able to help.

    Read the www.dansteinman.com/dynduo lessons on Hiding and Showing, and
you will learn how to hide and show things.  Dan's site is an excellent
reference, and I would rather not reproduce its entire content here.  Your
background in Java should make this material quite easy for you to
understand if you take some time to study it.

    If after following the instructions you still have questions, please
feel free to ask for help.

Regards,

Peter
