sorry: No abslute positioning, why?...not working.

[BrightNail]

Here are my css positioning..

#0_pricesecdisplay {position:absolute; top:542px; left:10px; visibility: hidden; z-index:1;}
#1_pricesecdisplay {position:absolute; top:542px; left:10px; visibility: hidden; z-index:2;}
#2_pricesecdisplay {position:absolute; top:542px; left:10px; visibility: hidden; z-index:3;}

EXAMPLE OF THE TABLES..

<div id = "0_pricesecdisplay"><table border='0' width='540'><tr><td colspan='2'> INFO TABLE 0 </td></tr></table></div>

<div id = "1_pricesecdisplay"><table border='0' width='540'><tr><td colspan='2'> INFO TABLE 1 </td></tr></table></div>

<div id = "2_pricesecdisplay"><table border='0' width='540'><tr><td colspan='2'> INFO TABLE 2 </td></tr></table></div>

***********

When I try to show/hide them, they show up in the exact order as they are in the code...and not even positioned...what gives?..

***********

Show/Hide code:

function showObject(x) {
current=x;
x.visibility = Vissy
if(holder &&(holder!=current)){hideObject(holder);}holder=x;
}
function hideObject(a) {
a.visibility = Hiddy
}

It works...things show and hide, but they are not positioned>>>>

because the page is created dynamically...here is the order of the code..

css
tables
javascript code

thanks......

Uhh, because you can't ID and element starting with number. The first letter should be alpha [a-zA-Z_]

Actually, there is nothing preventing you from giving objects a numerical ID. You just can't use it as a name reference because that violates Javascript's variable naming conventions. You can use the numerical ID in a calculation though if you follow through with the rules of coercion.

Oh yes, there are such rules:From [HTML4] (see my sig.):
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
IDREF and IDREFS are references to ID tokens defined by other attributes. IDREF is a single token and IDREFS is a space-separated list of tokens.An attribute of the type ID always have to match the regex /^[a-z][a-z0-9_:.-]+$/i.

[eggman]

I agree, but that's not what I said or meant.

<div id=2></div>
<div id=3></div>

var x=document.getElementsByTagName("DIV")
var y=x[0].id * 1 * x[1].id

There is nothing stopping you from doing the previous although it is usually not recommended.
