referencing a span id in javascript

[Craig Roberge]

Hi,

I'm trying to dynamically show and hide tablecells. The table cells are enclosed
in span tags and are dynamically created using ASP. Using the onclick event
of the span tag I call a function to hide and show cells,passing the span
id to the function. Depending on the id other cells are either shown of hidden.

I can change the current cell by passing 'this', and also any cells that
were static in the page, but when it is dynamically created using ASP I get
an error. The error says that the id of span, spanid.style.visibility, is
not an object.

How can I reference these dynamic span id's in javascript.

Can anyone help.

Thanks
Craig

Hi

I am not an expert but I am thinking that you should proberly use the collections
array for span tags, if one exists... ?
