show/hide text

those pesky layers

[theonliest]

I'm trying to create an onclick event that will reveal some text on a page, ie you click the 'read more' text and another paragraph appears below, I've tried using a MM_showhide layers bit of script but that only works in IE, ideally something that uses a divs visibility with as little javascript as possible, only needs to work in 5+ browsers,
any ideas?

I believe the MM_showhide script is a macromedia function from Dreamweaver. I believe the MM stands for MacroMedia. Do you have Dreamweaver or are you using a text editor?

You could just use an onClick (or href="javascript:...") event that will toggle the visibility of the layer that you wish to display.

Since it's 5+ browsers you can use getElementByID and not worry about document.layers and document.all:

document.getElementById(id).style.visibility = "visible";
