multiclicks for OnClick to work

Takes several clicks on a dive before the onclik works

[jerryb]

Why do I have to click this div several times before the onClick works when if I place an image in there - one click does the job.

<div onClick="function(arg)">Word</div>

function might know the answer to that one.

[jerryb]

the function is (from my earlier post)

function chgdsplay(me)
{
if (me.style.display=="none"){
me.style.display="block";}
else {
me.style.display="none";}
}

Which is what I assume you where angling for.

Properties set via stylesheet can't be read directly off the element's local style object.
Here's what happens:

1. 1st click: The display property is an emty string .
- test fails, and property set (locally this time) to 'none'.

2. 2nd click: Now we're in business.

Here's a solution:

function togDisplay(id)  
{  
  var style = document.getElementById(id).style; 
  style.display =!style.display? 'block' : '';   
} 
  

This assumes that
a) The default style in the stylesheet is 'none';
b) Any elements that are shown from the start have 'display:block;' in their own inline style attribute (but will default to the stylesheet's 'none' whenever this is removed).

And Thanks for the pointer and suggestions
