Is that a typo?
You have ogj instead of obj.

Also, the next time you ask for help with an error, it helps to post what the error is.

i hate javascript errors, they're never correct. thats one of the things i love about php, it pin points errors, every time i get a parse error in php, it gives me the right line, but in javascript, it always gives me some random line. anyway the typo didnt fix it, i still get the object expected error. all i need this script to do when i click on a link, i want it toggle the display of a div. to make in display or none.

That's funny - this works fine for me in IE6.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
</head>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle(objid)
   {
   if (document.getElementById)
      {
      var obj = document.getElementById(objid);
      if (obj.style)
         {
         if (obj.style.display == "none") 
            {
            obj.style.display="";
            }
         else 
            {
            obj.style.display = "none";
            }
         }
      }
   }
</script>
<p><a href="#" onclick="toggle('news')">fgfgfg</a></p>
<div id="news" style="display:none">hjklkljklkl</div>
</body>
</html>

i decided to change my system around anyway, i need this for an adminstration part of my site so i can update on computers without ftp programs and what not. now i just have a hidden div, and the javascript changes the innerhtml of another to that of the hidden divs
