IE onclick problem, works with FF

Hi, I have a few javascript functions which work perfectly well in Firefox, but do nothing in IE.

Since they DO work in FF, there must be some very small tweaking that needs to be done to make this understandable for IE..

I didnt include the CSS

Javascript:

[CODE]
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
var state = ‘hidden’;

function showhide(layer_ref) {
if (state == ‘visible’) {
state = ‘hidden’;
}
else {
state = ‘visible’;
}
if (document.all) {
eval( “document.all.” + layer_ref + “.style.visibility = state”);
}
if (document.layers) {
document.layers[layer_ref].visibility = state;
}
if (document.getElementById && !document.all) {
maxwell_smart = document.getElementById(layer_ref);
maxwell_smart.style.visibility = state;
}
}
function hide(layer_ref) {
if (state == ‘visible’) {
state = ‘hidden’;
}
if (document.all) {
eval( “document.all.” + layer_ref + “.style.visibility = state”);
}
if (document.layers) {
document.layers[layer_ref].visibility = state;
}
if (document.getElementById && !document.all) {
maxwell_smart = document.getElementById(layer_ref);
maxwell_smart.style.visibility = state;
}
}

//–>
</script>
[/CODE]

and here is the HTML

[code=html]
<div class=”ivo2″>

<div class=”ivo2-nav”>
<a href=”#” onclick=”showhide(‘ivo2-block1’);document.getElementById(‘ivo2-nav-link1′).style.background=’#FFA766’;document.getElementById(‘ivo2-nav-link2′).style.background=’#FFD69D’;hide(‘ivo2-block2’);return false” id=”ivo2-nav-link1″>Most Active</a>
</div>

<div class=”ivo2-nav”>
<a href=”#” onclick=”showhide(‘ivo2-block2’);document.getElementById(‘ivo2-nav-link1′).style.background=’#FFD69D’;document.getElementById(‘ivo2-nav-link2′).style.background=’#FFA766’;hide(‘ivo2-block1’);return false” id=”ivo2-nav-link2″>New</a>
</div>

<div id=”ivo2-block1″>foo</div>
<div id=”ivo2-block2″>bar</div>

</div>

[/code]

Has anybody else come across a problem like this?

Also in #JavaScript _↴
