Re: standard html, hidden table's row and controls

This is a PHP group please post JS questions to a JS group unless u have PHP code in inside requiring help !!! IE considers it non-active when style.display = 'none' you can not reference it via the 'javascipt' controls. it must be made visible to work in IE... i think u should look at another solution. perhaps an array of the items stored in javascript with a simple <input type=hidden> to store the active one. i have ALOT of experience with the <div style> hidden areas.
