I hope somebody can help I have a form that works in NS7.1 and NS8 - I need it to work in NS7.2

The problem is the setting of a form field visible when a check box is checked the form looks like:

<FORM ACTION="orderformdone.php" METHOD="POST" ID="orderform" name="orderform">
<table border="0" width="70%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class=maintext>
<tr>
<td><INPUT type="checkbox" name="spray" onClick="togField( \'textBox1\' );"><font color="#000099"> Spray</font></td>
<td><font color="#000099">6601</font></td>
<td><font color="#000099">1 x 50ml spray</font></td>
<td><INPUT type=text name=textBox1 size="5" onFocus="startCalc();" onBlur="stopCalc();"</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

The togField function looks like:
function togField(id) {
if (document.all[ id ].style.visibility != "hidden") {
document.all[ id ].value = '0'
calc();
document.all[ id ].style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else {
document.all[ id ].style.visibility = 'visible'
document.all[ id ].value = '6'
document.all[ id ].focus();
document.orderform.Total.style.visibility = "visible";
}
}

The code works on FireFox, Opera etc etc.

Any clues would be appreciated.

I don't have 7.2 to test against on my own machine, but I can tell you that document.all is never a good way to get what you want. It will always cause compatibility problems. Something like this should work:

Code: Select all: <html><head> <script> function togField(field) { field.style.visibility = field.style.visibility == "hidden" ? "visible" : "hidden"; } </script> </head><body> <form> <input type="checkbox" name="spray" onClick="togField(textBox1)">Spray <input type="text" name="textBox1" size="5" </form> </body> </html>
