Display set to None doesn't fully work

[olypost]

I have an html button control that I want to hide based on a certain value.

When my page first loads, the display is set to none. Then I do:

if (str == "NO") {
document.getElementById('gob').style.display = "none"; }
else {
document.getElementById('gob').style.display = "block"; }

The first time str is NO, I don't see the button, which is fine.

The first time it goes into the else condition, I see the button, which is fine.

But the next time str is NO, for some reason I can still see the button with no text in the button.

If I refresh the page, it resets the page so that if str is NO, I don't see the button.

If I do a response.redirect it should work--how do I do something like that with clientside javascript??

Thanks.

- Are you sure str is "NO" (all uppercase)?
- Are you sure your script is running the second time?

If so, can you post your page code (or better still, a cut-down test harness)? The code you've shown should work, so I imagine you have an error elsewhere.

Hope this helps,
