It's not clear what you're attempting to do. But if you show your complete code here, someone may be able to help you with fixing it. Even better, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

I don't see a "flashbox", but there's an element with an ID of "flashMessage".

If that's what you mean, you can see the CSS properties for it between lines 83 and 89 of the "style.css" file in the workspace. And one of those properties is "display: block;".

If you want to prevent a "flash" on refresh of a hidden element, you can use "display: none;" instead.
