getElementById problem

I call the following function with a mouseover event but it's not working. My id's are all correct & I have properly linked all my external scripts.

function new2() {
var prevWin = document.GetElementById("recentlyaddedtip");
prevWin.style.visibility = "visible";
}

recentlyaddedtip is set as hidden in the stylesheet (and it properly changes to visible when I change it manually.)

JavaScript is case sensitive.

Try: 

document.getElementById('recentlyaddedtip');

Notice the small 'g'.

Well, I don't see your mouseover function so I don't know if that's spelled right, but try:

var prevWin = document.getElementById("recentlyaddedtip");

with a lowercase g.

GetElementById should be getElementById (note the case)

You shouldn't uppercase the G in GetElementById, it should be getElementById(). JavaScript is case sensitive ;-)

getElementById is a case sensitive function name.
