setAttribute('display','none') not working

rated 0 times [ 124] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 121749 / 14 Years ago, sat, february 12, 2011, 12:00:00

function classInfo(e){

    document.getElementById('classRight').setAttribute('display','none');

    alert(e);   

}

I think this code is very straightforward bit it's not working, and is not hiding the element in question. I am getting my alert, which makes me think there is no issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

display is not an attribute - it's a CSS property. You need to access the style object for this:

document.getElementById('classRight').style.display = 'none';
