Menu
Is it possible to on the fly hide and show tables?
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have a php script building a web page from a database. This can take a while to happen depending on the user’s request.
So, I have 2 tables. 1 looks like this:
[code]
<TABLE ID=”tblPleaseWait” width=100%>
<tr>
<td align=center>
<img border=0 src=’images/pleasewait.gif’></img>
</td>
</tr>
</TABLE>
That is the one that is displayed as the web page appears initially. It’s an animated gif.
Then I have the main table which has the main body of it built via the script. Starts off looking like this:
[code]
<TABLE ID=”tblMain” WIDTH=100% STYLE=”DISPLAY:NONE”>
<TR VALIGN=TOP>
<TD ALIGN=CENTER>
.
.
.
The <Body> tag has an onload running a Javascript function that looks like this:
[code]
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
function AllLoaded()
{
tblPleaseWait.Style.Display=’NONE’;
tblMain.Style.Display=”;
}
</SCRIPT>
Ok, so I have tried doing this function all ways I can think of to hide the tblPleaseWait, and show the tblMain. What am I doing wrong here? I want to keep the html looking like it does. I don’t want to do a bunch of CSS coding block or anything if I can avoid it. I seem to be missing something in the function that tells JavaScript what the object is. Thanks for any help…
