works in FF, but not IE

[justAnoob]

I have this function that is ran when the submit button is clicked. As you can see, it will display the div that is hidden. Inside that div is an animated gif. The animation only runs in FF but not IE. Is there any way around this problem?

function do_submit()
{
  document.getElementById("wait_msg").style.display = "block";
  return true;
}

<div id="wait_msg" style="display: none;"><img src="images/progress_indicator.gif" /></div>

Are you saying that the image is not showing in IE when the button is clicked? As in, the div style isn't being changed? That code looks okay. Assuming your syntax is right in your button's onclick, there's no reason your code shouldn't work in IE.  Did you make sure you have js enabled? What version are you using?

i would check if there are any javascript errors. if there are post them here. in IE you can see javascript errors by looking in the bottom left hand corner. if there is an error there will be a yellow exclamation point. also if you like using firebug in FF there is firebug lite that can be used in IE to help troubleshoot.
