HI all

I am trying to write a function that will allow me to hide/show different=
 spans ( 4 in total ) based on parameters passed to a function; like so:  

onclick=3D""showspan(1); return false""
onclick=3D""showspan(2); return false"" etc. etc. etc.


So my question is:  what is the correct DOM syntax for referencing=
 SPANS/DIVS, if it is even possible? (I could use < .div> 's instead of <=
 .span>'s if necessary.)  I need it work in IE4+ and NN4+.  However, I do=
 not need browser check code in this script, it is taken care of elsewhere.=
  I only need the correct DOM syntax for each browser and then I will use=
 ASP to write out the correct JavaScript to match whatever browser is being=
 used.

Something like

document.spans[1].style.visibility =3D 'hidden'  or


would be nice, but it doesn't work like this it seems.   What am I missing?

tia!
phil.
