Trouble Modifying dsiplay style

[Brady Kelly]

I'm trying to get a DIV to display at will, as a sort of dialog, but I'm
stuck on setting the display as follows. Please could someone suggest why
this isn't working:





function showSearchAndReplace()

{

var dSr = document.getElementById("divSR");

dSr.style.display="inline";

debugger;

return true;

}





My DIV is marked up as:



div id="divSR" style="display: none;"

Hi Brady,

You should set the display to "block", not "inline".
That is:

document.getElementById('divSR').style.display = 'block';

Thanks, but I tried block as well. I'm calling the show function from an
asp:button, and it was showing until the postback, which I never saw because
the debugger popped up in the way, an then on post back it reset the display
attribute. I added "return false;" to the client-side onclick event and
that seems to have cleared it up.

Ok, this was the culprit. If you don't need server side processing fired
by that button then you don't need it to be a server side control either.
Why don't having a simple html input button?

Fine; returning false avoid continuing with the postback sequence.

We have inherited server side code in all pages that enables and disables
buttons based on user rights.
