Having investigated, I'm suspicious that the code may never have worked, 
however a fairly simple solution is to loop through all the rows in a 
table setting the cell.style.display property of the relevant column to 
either hide or table-cell.

function hide(tid,c,h=true){
  var i,t=document.getElementById(tid);
  for(i=0;i<t.rows.length;i++)
    t.rows[i].cells[c-1].style.display=h?"none":"table-cell";
}

Assumes all rows have the same number of columns
tid is the text id of the table
c is the 1-based column number
h is true for hide, false for show
