Bekim,

I think your statement is incorrect.  If setting display to "none" removed 
an item from the document tree, it would be impossible to refer to it or to 
reset its display back to any other value.

However, this sequence works fine:

         oThingie.style.display = "none";
         alert(oThingie.style.display);
         oThingie.style.display = "block";
