DHTML – Hide until fully loaded

Basically what I’m trying to do is load a DHTML script behind scenes (right now all the layers load on top of each other then expand – which looks bad). And then once it’s loaded for it to appear. This is a navigation menu and that I wrote and downgrades for non-DHTML browsers. I’ve done this before.. Just can’t seem to remember the technique.

Thanks,

Place your html inside a hidden layer.

code:

<div id="testLayer"
style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;">HTML</div>[/code]

Then make it visible after page has loaded.

code:<script>

function makeVis() {
   if (document.all) {
      document.all["testLayer"].style.visibility = "visible";
      }
   if (document.layers) {
      document.layers["testLayer"].visibility = "show";
      }
   }
 
onload = makeVis;

</script>[/code]
