how to get CSS information with javascrpt

Need to know if the div is visible or hidden

[vsgill]

Hello friends
I am new with Java script and tried to look over the internet if this is even possible.
....
I need to know if a div's visibility is set to "hidden" in "visible" in CSS

i tried something like this.. but it does not work..

var showListDivID = document.getElementById(id);
alert(showListDivID.style.visibility)

Is something like this possible, if yes... how?
Thanks
Vik

Hi,

You could try:

document.getElementById('elementID').currentStyle.visibility;
