hi,
here is what i am trying to do that .I want to hide the text boxes and diaplay only when the page has finished loading(loading everything even java applet,My understanding is onload is called after everything is done).
below is my code so far..
any help appreciated

window.onload=getboxes;

getboxes()
{

}

< form ...>

<input type="test"name ="username>

<input type="test"name ="username>
</form>

The following approach works for me...

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
getboxes()
{
.
.
}
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad='startSet()'>

< form ...>

<input type="test"name ="username>

<input type="test"name ="username>
</form>

Just set the style property visibility to hidden on each field you want hidden.
When getboxes fires you alter the visibility property for each one to visible.

Code:

window.onload=getboxes; 

getboxes() 
{ 
  document.getElementById('username1').style.visibility=visible;
  document.getElementById('username2').style.visibility=visible;
} 

< form ...> 


<input type="te[COLOR=red]x[/color]t" name="username[COLOR=red]1[/color]" [COLOR=red]id="username1" style="visibility:hidden"[/color]> 

<input type="te[COLOR=red]x[/color]t" name="username[COLOR=red]2[/color]" [COLOR=red]id="username2" style="visibility:hidden"[/color]> 
</form>

It's hard to think outside the box when I'm trapped in a cubicle.
