As an addendum to my previous post, I could also pass the NAME of the span=
 in question to the function.  Thing is, I can't seem to get JavaScript to=
 use the value in a string instead of the name of the string, like this:

onclick=3D"showspan('spanBinoculars')"


function showspan (strSpanName) {   
	strSpanName.style.visibility =3D 'visible'
}


But this doesn't result in

spanBinoculars.style.visibility =3D 'visible'

as I had hoped it would...  Any ideas?
