I am not sure that is quite so as an element which can be alternately displayed and not displayed should be able to have dynamically-generated content and dynamically-set properties persist between states and there may be good reasons for accessing such content and properties while an element is not being displayed. Also, "display: hidden" leaves an element's space in place, so the visual effect is not the same as "display: block", but thank you for the suggestion. Kind regards, Brian Sexton
