A property available on all form elements, "type" returns the type of the calling form element. For SELECT, the two possible values are "select-one
" or "select-multiple
", depending on the type of selection list. The below code gives all SELECT elements in a particular form a CSS class of "selectclass
":
<script type="text/javascript">var
form_element = document.getElementById(
'subscribe_form'
);
var
vist = form_element.style;
if
(vist.display==
''
|| vist.display==
'none'
)
{
vist.display =
'block'
;
}
else
{
