I have written a small function that changes the visibility of two input boxes, however even if the privDinRm[1] option isnt selected the second line of code still runs making the privDinRmS box visible when it should stay invisible and i cant work out why this is happening, the first box privDinRmNm still stays hidden and works fine. I have tried it in ie and firefox but both have the same problem. any ideas would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance
code below::

function privdinrm(){
if (document.register2.privDinRm[1].selected)
document.register2.privDinRmNm.style.visibility=’visible’
document.register2.privDinRmS.style.visibility=’visible’
}

@netbuddyJun 22.2006 — function privdinrm(){

if (document.register2.privDinRm[1].selected)

document.register2.privDinRmNm.style.visibility='visible'

document.register2.privDinRmS.style.visibility='visible'

}

the if condition you specify has no braces (curly brackets to the leyman)

you need to wrap your if condition in a set of these so that the condition when met will cause both items to operate or not...
[CODE]function privdinrm(){
if (document.register2.privDinRm[1].selected)
{
document.register2.privDinRmNm.style.visibility='visible'
document.register2.privDinRmS.style.visibility='visible'
}
}[/CODE]
when the 'selected' condition is met, BOTH items will be set to 'visible'
