Handling DIV in IE and Netscape

[Dushyant Bhardwaj]

Dear All,
I m working on a requirement where I need to use show-hide functionality.
This is working on IE perfectly using
if (document.all) {
for(iloop=0;iloop<document.all.hidPElmnt.length;iloop++)
{document.all.hidPElmnt[iloop].style.visibility = "visible";
}}
But I m not able to do it for netscape.
Can anybody tell me what is the equivalent code for above posted code
used for IE.
I m using
if (document.getElementById) {
document.getElementById("hidPElmnt").style.visibility = "visible";
}
but I m stuck with , how to iterate for all the elements whose ID is hidPElmnt.

Thanks in advance.

  <script>
    function showHide(elemName,how){
      var theElems = document.getElementsByName(elemName);
      for(i=0;i<theElems.length;i++)
        theElems[i].style.display=how;
    }
  </script>

send the element name and how you want to show hide the element,
with using display it is "none" for hide, "block" for visible.
My 2 centson't use document.all, just use getElementById; IE supports both methods!
