Javascript in IE vs Firefox

The following script works fine in IE7 but fails to execute in Firefox 3. The div tag which was display: none; shows in IE but never in FF. I am not a client / javascript guy... thanks.

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
document.getElementById("Fred1_Panel").style.setAttribute("display","inline");//]]>

</script>

This code should work:

document.getElementById("Fred1_Panel").style.display = "inline";

In general if you encounter problems in Firefox you can easily discover the exact problem (and maybe find out the solution) using Firebug plugin or simply seeing at the Error console.

In FF, starting with either Tools | Error Console, or FireBug's console is a good way to see what errors are occurring.

try this:

document.getElementById("Fred1_Panel").style.display = '';

OR

document.getElementById("Fred1_Panel").style.display = 'inline';

This will work in both browsers:

document.getElementById("Fred1_Panel").style.display = 'inline';
