Good morning, Grange! While you slept in your comfy bed, I
was having a code-venture.
I read of another Kate troubled with show/hide and print (in
RH7):

This gave me courage to press on.
In RH6, I couldn’t add the .js file as a Baggage file.
I believe this is because RH6 (and probably the other Kate's RH7)
loves XML. I edited the rhbag.apj per Mr. Wizard's details at:
http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/NewProject.htm#MonthlyScry/022005.htm
(Thank you, Rick.) If this is write-worthy, you could add it as a
tip in your show-hide instructions for users of these later RH
versions. Or, maybe you warn people of this annoying baggage issue
and I haven't gone deeply enough.
Another potential oddity of RH6 (maybe RH7?) that might be
write-worthy is that adding the script after <head> appeared
to be deleted because it wasn't where I left it. Silly girl, smart
RH6. RH6 moved the script after:
<!--(Scripts)==============================-->
but before
</head>
RH6 isn't smart enough to see the identical code so I deleted
a bizillon of them. (Well, really, only my 9 or so failed shots.)
So, the instructions might be after <!--(Scripts)======> but
before <\head>.
On the issue of frames and show/hide, the frame doesn't make
any difference. However, my htm file has 200+ drop-downs. (I
know… way too large… I split it once already.)
Interesting but not surprising, when Show All is clicked, the
drop-down content displays with this dialog box slapped rudely over
the top:
"A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run
slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become
unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
I click Yes and the drop-down content is displayed but the
button still says Show All. My computer is no speedy rabbit and I
wait with baited breath for my screaming new Dell which is coming
any day now. In the meantime, I'll bug some colleagues to test the
speed of display on their machines to see how many pieces I have to
hack my file into.
What is Tony doing now? Does his wife want to be Prime
Minister? But I digress.
I’m heading for zzzzz-land now.
