layers in (gag) Netscape (/gag)

[sdkramer]

Ok, so I've tried to make a div area that's controlled by a cascading style sheet work in netscape 4, 6, and 7 and 4 it works, in a goofy sort of way. but 6, 7, show them, and I can't hide them...no matter what. Here's an example of the code I've tried to hide the layers.

I've got a div tag with an id of textdiv1

Tried:
document.getElementById('textdiv1').style.visibility="show";
and the same with hide

as well as

document.all["textdiv1"].style.visibility="show";

am I losing my mind? what's the deal here. I can't get this to work.

Any assistance would be appreciated,
