Why Am I Not Able To Show Or Hide In Internet Explorer 8, And How I Can Fix The Problem?

Post a Comment
I have written JavaScript code to show and hide the div. But I got stuck when it is not working in Internet Explorer 8. It is working smoothly in other browsers, like Opera, Firefo

Solution 1:

try:

var div1 = document.getElementById("div1");
if(div1.style.display=="none" || div1.style.display == ""){
  document.getElementById("div1").style.diplay = "block";
}
else{
  div1.style.display = "none";
}

Solution 2:

Try using display:

functionshowHideDiv()
{
    var divstyle = newString();
    divstyle = document.getElementById("div1").style.display;
    if(divstyle.toLowerCase()=="block" || divstyle == "")
    {
        document.getElementById("div1").style.display= "none";
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById("div1").style.display= "block";
    }
}

Solution 3:

jQuery is your best friend when working with DOM.

<styletype="text/css">.hidden {
    visibility: hidden;
  }
</style><scripttype="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
        $('.trigger').click(function(){
            $('#div1').toggleClass('hidden');
        });
    });
</script><divid="div1"class="divStyle"><objectwidth="300"height="300"><paramname="movie"value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7_6B6vwE83U"></param><embedsrc="http://www.youtube.com/v/7_6B6vwE83U"type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="300"height="300"></embed></object></div><center><divclass="trigger">Click Me For show hide</div></center>

Your page works just fine in Firefox 4 and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP.

<html><head><title>Javascript Show Hide Div Visibility</title><styletype="text/css">.center {text-align:center}
            #div1 {visibility:visible}
        </style><scriptlanguage="javascript"type="text/javascript">functionshowHideDiv() {
               var div = document.getElementById("div1");
               div.style.visibility=(div.style.visibility==="visible"||div.style.visibility==="")?"hidden":"visible";
            }
        </script></head><body><divid="div1"class="divStyle">
        ...
        </div><divclass="center"onclick="showHideDiv()">Click Me For show hide <div></body></html>

Solution 5:

The respondents that have tested it all report that it works fine in their IE8. That would leave three options open:

  1. No Doctype declaration (I'm assuming the testers put that over it manually).
  2. It concerned an intranet site, temporarily or permanently. IE8+ has a Compatibility Mode/View (= IE7), which it defaults to in case an intranet site is requested. Exceptions are made for sites of which the URL starts with 'localhost' of '127.0.0.1', the address of the on-computer server(-simulator), if installed.
  3. The OP had his IE8 set to 'View all sites in Compatibility Mode/View'.
