Assigning CSS value with Javascript in IE4

[yandso]

Hi all,
I have one of those wonderful version questions.
I have this code working in IE 5.5 using javascript to change the position value on the fly.
<script>
function functionName(){
if(statement){
divName.style.visibility=&quot;hidden&quot;
divName.style.position=&quot;absolute&quot;
}
else{
divName.style.visibility=&quot;visible&quot;
divName.style.position=&quot;relative&quot;
}
}
However when I run this in IE4 it gives me the error that &quot;Object does not support this action&quot;
Does anyone know a way around this. What I am looking for is a way to close the white space when the div is not visible, with out re-positioning the other contents of the page.

Thanks
Roj

Probably just doesn't have good enough CSS support - try setting display to none, but this probably won't work in v4.

By setting display to none, then it is not rendered at all by the page, meaning no space is allowed, and even if the divs are at the bottom of the page, no scroll bar shows, because effectively it does not exist.

A hidden element still has room allowed - giving you the whitespace.
