How can i make Labels on JSP invisible on demand

Well javascript, HTML and CSS are part of JSP solutions, so why wouldn't those questions be answered here?

The solution lies in either the "display" or "visibility" css properties of any html element.

display: can be "block" or "none". When you set it to none the element basically disappears entirely from the page. It will not even use up space anymore. This can make other elements surrounding it move a little, depending on your page layout.

visibility: "visible" or "hidden". When you hide an element it will vanish, but it will still use up space on the page, leaving an empty spot. This will keep other elements in their place.

You can change either property using javascript:

document.getElementById("yourelement").style.visibility = "hidden";

or

document.getElementById("yourelement").style.display = "none";

I don't know. I did answer a few CSS and HTML questions on this forum if you look in my thread answering history, you'll find a few threads.

I pointed the OP to check to DHTML and Ajax forums incase no one answers his questions here.

Also, because his question would help other in the DHTML and Ajax forums looking for answers to the same or similar questions.

The question is completely client-side computing involving Javascript, CSS and HTML , if it was supposed to be integrated with JSP elements then that's a different story.

So I answer on a case-by-case basis, my intent is not to harm anyone.
