Hi all,
Is it possible to modify a table using JavaScript to control CSS visabilty when the entire table is developed dynamically using PHP? Thanks, Paul

You don't need to change the CSS (I don't even know if it is possible), but you can change specific styles of any element within the HTML. For example:
Yes, it's just a text file -- it can be re-written. However, it needs to be loaded again to take affect.
document.getElementById('IdOfDivContainingTable').style.display='none'; It is particularly usefull to enclose whichever set of elements that you wish to change into a single entity, a DIV or SPAN, if at all possible.
That's the main principle of ajax, isn't it? Using DOM to apply changes within the document. It might be old-hat to most, but I find it fascinating.
Styles assigned in this way have precedence over those from a style sheet
The precedence is simply inheritance -- last stated is applied. tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com
