<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
 function ShowHideDiv()
 {
   var myDiv = document.getElementById("LoginDiv");

   if(myDiv.style.display=="none" && '<%=_Type %>' =="Sign in")
   {
     myDiv.style.display="";
   }
   else
   {

   }
 }
</script>
<form>
 <input id="crossLogInDiv" type="button" value ="X" onclick ="ShowHideDiv(crossLogInDiv); return false" />
</form>

just tell me how to pass parameter from this function ShowHideDiv() and how to use this?

Moved to Javascript. Please do not post questions in the tutorials section.

You don't define your ShowHideDiv() function to accept a parameter. You must do such.

An example:

function foo(paramOne, paramTwo){}

Hi

try this,

/*Function*/
function ShowHideDiv(x)


/*Button*/
 <input id="crossLogInDiv" type="button" value ="X" onclick ="ShowHideDiv(crossLogInDiv); return false;" />

That should work



No need for var keyword in

function when recieving parameters ,that will cause the script to fail i think..

This
(var x)

should be

(x)

but only in IE. all other browsers will get an error as crossLogInDiv is an undefined global variable (only IE silently puts names and ids into global vars).

[marinus]

You don't have to put in var the parameters if that is what you mean..

Then it still work's in all browsers , i have been coding JS like that for ages.

You only have to pass in the value , and not a data type in functions , because dynamic languages can get values assigned late , as suppose to static languages

That's true, but this case is the exception. Within the "on" event attributes of an element, the ID and/or NAME of the elements are synonymous to "this".

I'd still use "this" over the name/id. Removes any confusion about what is being passed.

Oh i didn't see that , The OP passed in an id , which is unknown, you should always use

FuntionName(this) as ATLI explained

in the OP case it will be

ShowHideDiv(this.id)

good to know.

but I still prefer event listeners, much less trouble (in a way).
