Javascript problem on refresh

**mrstuff68** · Jun 9th, 2007, 10:00 AM

I am having a problem that I cant figure out. What I am currently doing, is when you select a value in a dropdown certain text displays based on your selection, but when I refresh the page, the text gets wipped out. I need the text to remain there when the page gets refreshed. I tried calling the function that shows/hides text onload but that doesnt seem to be working either.

Please help!!

This is my javascript code that changes the text that gets displayed.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function ShowHide(v, x) { 
  if (v.value == "2D")
    x.style.display = "block";
  else if (v.value == "1T")
    x.style.display = "block";
  else if (v.value == "SS")
    x.style.display = "block";
  else
    x.style.display = "none";
}

function doLoad() {
	ShowHide(document.form[0].var5.value, showOptionsThurs);
}
		
// end -->
</script>

<BODY ONLOAD="javascript:doLoad()">

This is the code for the dropdown that I am using.

Code:

<SELECT id="var5"  NAME="dropown_var5" class="text" onClick="ShowHide(this, showOptionsThurs);">

<OPTION VALUE=""> ---------- Please Select One ----------
<OPTION VALUE="EO"> EO
<OPTION VALUE="2D"> 2D
<OPTION VALUE="1T"> 1T
<OPTION VALUE="1F"> 1F
<OPTION VALUE="SS"> SS
												</SELECT>

This is the code that is used to display the text.

Code:

<tr id="showOptionsThurs" STYLE="DISPLAY:NONE;" >
	<TD colspan="1">
		Display Text
	</TD>
</tr>
