Javascript help, i'm an idiot somewhere Options

[woody]

i got this toggle JS code that works in IE but not Firefox

java script:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function toggle(targetId)
{
    target = document.all(targetId);
    if (target.style.display == "none")
      {
        target.style.display="";
      }
    else
      {
        target.style.display="none";
      }
}
//-->
</script>

And when i call it:

<a href="java script:toggle('Name')">Click Here Thingie</a> <br />
  <div id="Name" style="display:none">
    <div alighn="justify">
        <font color="#000000" size="1"><? include('name.php');?></font>
    </div>
  </div>

any ideas?

I noticed a couple of things

//-->

Isn't this commenting out the end of the script?

<? include('name.php');?>

My installation of PHP has to start with <?PHP blah ?>

No it doesn't comment out the end of the script, it simply hides it from browsers that don't understand Javascript.

Certain PHP installations need the <?php opening tag, others don't. Try both. The one that's "<?php" is technically proper.

This works fine for me in Firefox. Do you have the Javascript in the head section of your HTML? What is in your name.php file?

javascript is int he head

the php file is just a paragraph of text

Is it being echo'd in the PHP file?

Do a view source in Firefox when you first load the page, and then after you click the button. See if they are the same or different.

make sure you have the latest JRE.

you probably do, but it's always worth mentioning.

Javascript != Java so runtime environment does not matter. The browser matters.

Which begs the question, what extensions do you have installed for Firefox?
