calling a function twice

[ess14]

Is there some reason why you cant do the followng in javascript?

 

function showOne(elem_id){

hideAll( );

elemOn( elem_id );

elemOn( elem_id+"T" );

}

 

is it okay to call the elemOn function twice with differant variables?

for some reason it will only do the one that comes first.

 

not a big javascript guy so maybe its not possible? any more information or help?

[rajivgonsalves]

it depends what the elemOn does

[ess14]

function elemOn(elem_id){

if(document.getElementById(elem_id))

document.getElementById(elem_id).style.display = "block";

 

}

 

should it just run it twice with the differant variable names?

[rajivgonsalves]

it should work if you got the id names right
