hideelement javascript

  which block of html are you talking about?
  
  The HideElement function is pretty simple:

  function HideElement(ElementID, ClearElement) {
  	var Element = document.getElementById(ElementID);
  	if (Element) {
  		Element.style.display = "none";
  		if (ClearElement == 1) ClearContents(Element);
  	}
  }

  It finds any element in the page by it's ID and makes hit display: none. It also optionally clears the innerHtml out of the element.
  
  So, to make it work you'd just need to set up a link and then name the id of the element you want hidden. So, for example, if you wanted to hide the menu tabs, you'd do this:
  
  <a href="javascript:HideElement('MenuForum',0)">Hide the menu!</a>
