I just found one thing. If you want to have some elements on your webpage that appear and disapear and you want some of them to be hidden at the load of your page, don’t use something like :
<style>
#mystuff {
display : none;
}
</style>
This code will disable the effects on that block. Instead add an onload event to the body of your page and call a function like that :
<head>
<!-- Include Prototype and Scriptaculous -->
<script type="text/javascript>
function hidestuff() {
Element.hide('ElementName1');
Element.hide('ElementName2');
// etc...
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="hidestuff();">
....
Hope that helps someone : I got stuck with that for a week, having to start with a displayed empty element instead of an hidden element.
bye,
Blaise

mmm, dont’t know if I really understand, but if you use :
<style>
#mystuff {
display : none;
}
</style>
inside the .css file dosn’t work - you need to use something like this:
<div id="hiddendivname" style="display: none;">
insede your html code.
Than you can make it appear with:
Effect.Appear(’hiddendivname’);

You can set the initial style from an init() javascript function that is run on page load. This way those with no javascript for whatever reason will see everything. It may not be pretty and fancy, but the page will still work for them, while those with javascript will get all your fancy eye candy and bells and whistles.

I havent thought about that, but i think it’s nicer to have it done in JScript
