No worries, adding .id was just a guess that I tried that worked, I tried .name first, heh.

Thank you very much. You would die laughing if you knew how much code I wrote to get around the .id problem I had.

66 lines of javascript code
7 functions

I think I'll just ad .id back and make it work properly.

Thanks again.

since testID1 is an object, you have to call one of it's values, not the object itself to refer to it, kind of crazy huh? Point is, the following code will work:

function closeSub(subID.id){
	subID.style.display = 'none';
}

function delayCloseSub(subID){

	setTimeout('closeSub(' +subID.id + ')',1000);

}

(full example)

<html>
<head>
&lt;script language='javascript'&gt;
function displaySub(subID){
	subID.style.display = '';
}

function closeSub(subID){
	alert(subID.id);
	subID.style.display = 'none';
}

function delayCloseSub(subID){
	setTimeout('closeSub(' + subID.id + ')',10);
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body>


<a href='#' onMouseOver='displaySub(testID1)' onMouseOut='delayCloseSub(testID1)'>hover here</a>


<div id='testID1' style='display: none'>
test
</div>
</body>
</html>

Still generating errors. Here is a replica of what isn't working.

<html>
<head>
&lt;script language='javascript'&gt;
function displaySub(subID){
	subID.style.display = '';
}

function closeSub(subID){
	alert(subID);
	subID.style.display = 'none';
}

function delayCloseSub(subID){
	setTimeout('closeSub(' + subID + ')',1000);
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body>
<div id='testID1' style='display: none'>
test
</div>

<a href='#' onMouseOver='displaySub(testID1)' onMouseOut='delayCloseSub(testID1)'>hover here</a>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for your help

Try this:

function closeSub(subID){
	subID.style.display = 'none';
}

function delayCloseSub(subID){

	setTimeout('closeSub(' + subID + ')',1000);

}
