<!--

Help!! See below. I am trying to pass a variable (option) to a function, which in this case is the id of a paragraph (i.e., "test_paragraph"). I'd like for the function then to turn off the display of the test_paragraph based on the passed variable (option). The id gets passed Ok as witnessed by the alert message. However, it will not work using the option.style.display="none"; whereas it will work if you type the actual name of the paragraph as shown in command that is not commented out (test_paragraph.style.display="none". Is this a syntax problem? Since I'm not a javascript person, a potentially small syntax problem shuts me down. Thanks very much in advance.
