4,351 PointsNeeding some help with innerHTML usage. I want to hide innerHTML when button is clicked and reappear with other button
JAVASCRIPT: function hideme() { var rectangles = document.querySelectorAll("#squarearea div"); for (var i = 0; i < rectangles.length; i++) { rectangles[i].className = "hide"; } } CSS: .hide{ //display: none; visibility: hidden; } I've tried both the display: none; and visibility: hidden option; but both are giving unwanted effects. I have a squarearea that contains rectangles that have innerHTML attached to each of them, which is what I want to hide/show. But using my current methods are making my entire screen disappear. :( I have searched everywhere, any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

231,210 PointsThe function "hideme" as shown will make every "div" element disappear that is contained in another element that has an ID value of "squarearea".
Do you have any visible content that is not in one of these "div" elements? Otherwise that might explain the entire page being hidden.
Also, be aware that the CSS rule applies to the "div" element itself and not just to the "innerHTML" property, but offhand I wouldn't expect that to make a difference to your expectations.
If you're still having trouble, please show your HTML code and any other JavaScript and/or CSS to allow a more complete analysis. And when posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.
