Hi:


    IE and Chrome both 'hide' the <div> below when a user 'clicks' on the 
button.

    However, an automatically updated version of FF does NOT .

    That is, when a user 'clicks' on the 'Hide Me' button, nothing happens. 
Very few (any ??) of my users have FF installed, and I very seldom use FF. 
But month ago, I *believe* it worked correctly -- but I'm not sure.

Question:

    What FF setting could I have (somehow) set wrongly such that 'onclicks' 
were not acted on.

TIA for any hints. Again, IE and Chrome work correctly

-Mel Smith

**** my html and ES/JS code below ******
   <div id="inotice">
   <input type="button" onclick="hidenotice();" value="Hide Me" />
    <!-- lots of text and <br> here -->
   </div>

function hidenotice() {
var el=document.getElementById("inotice");
el.style.display="none";
}
