variable & ID

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

I want to use Javascript variables containing some HTML and then use them to Show and Hide their content. How can I do that?
I was using the DIV tags to make it, and changed the visibility property to show and hide their content but I couldn't generate an ID using Javascript. Is this possible? It will be something like that:
<DIV ID=generateid()> .... </DIV> , I tried to do it but it doesn't works, is there a way to do it?

i dont think that is possible. i know that in ie5+ you can create divs and other html elements dynamically usig javascript, but i dont think you can assign them an id with javascript, unless you document.write() them. adam@aauser.com

Ok, thanks.
The only problem is that if I document.write them I won't be able to change their visibility to make some Show/Hide effects. Am I right?

Wrong. Here's exactly what you need. It cross browsers,
but you can also check skip browsers u don't wanna work with:

of course you can show/hide layers that were document.written. adam@aauser.com
