I am really happy that one of the articles I've written years ago is still helping out people! You are the first one to actually give a feedback but it does make me feel as the things I write are not in vain :-) Good luck with all of your future projects! As for my family name, I am not really good with sound translation but I can just tell you that you spell all of the letters and vowels, without omitting any sound. Again, wish you all the best! :-) Hi, Alfonso!

Thanks again --Alfonse p.s. How do you pronounce your last name, anyway? this is ridiculous, but here we go (computers are so stupid): in between the following words from the last entry: ‘sets of ___ should” two opposing caret symbols should have appeared, alluding to the caret symbols in the original message.

Thanks again

Then, afterwards, let me tell you my short story and you'll understand why I'm thanking you for the ["Hide DIV with Javascript] post listed on this webpage. In the last '24 hours, or so,' I was in search of a "solution" > Problem: I'm a Painter trying to display a webpage of a 'Painting" without a glaringly obtrusive div (explaining some silly, but important stuff) that must be shown at first, but then offer the option of being hidden (so as not to be: obtrusive). I spent hours (about seven of them) trying to find a solution, but all I got was a silly standard (from a bunch of overly wise webguys --too techy) where you first have to click a button that in turn, gives you the absurd only alternative of clicking again to get what the first button was supposed to do (namely hide the div), but only acts as a wasteful requirement that the user click twice, to get a single result. Your solution is far more elegant (appropriately discovered around 3:00 am, the morning after my initial, 7 hr ~ afternoon stretch of dismal & fruitless search for a proper "solution" :) --and much more efficient when CSS is applied, which in the end, turned out to be exactly what I had envisioned from the start: an option to click on the "obtrusive" DIV to make it "disappear", leaving behind a very unobtrusive little button saying "show" that could be clicked, to "regenerate" the DIV, should the user so require. I mention "ELEGANCE" in the sense that your solution requires only two lines of text (ok, actually three in the head + the two in the body), where the [silly] guys demand (depending on the web-source) eight to ten lines of javascript 'non-sense' in the Head, plus a doubt-full anchor in the body (definitely not working with JQuery) that resulted in a rather awkward (clunky) 'operationality' in the body. Less, in most ways, more . Thanks again, --Alfonse Hi Victor:
