I count three toggleTR calls in onClick (sic) handlers that clearly
overlap. You only need one. I am not surprised that you are getting
odd results.

PS. A font tag with a class name? Tables-in-tables? Consecutive
line breaks? This whole thing is a mess and a maintenance nightmare.
Whoever wrote it needs to start over from scratch, reading a book on
Web authoring first. Adding script to this jumble at this point is
madness.

Thanks for your help - I will look into the overlapping onClicks,
however - there were issues getting just one to trigger correctly in
all appropriate areas.

In addition, *I* wrote this - and it is evetremely easy to maintain as
the code is generated by a CGI application. Tables-in-Tables are
perfectly fine as they are designed to be embedded. I've read MANY
books on web authoring, but I only take from them what I find to be
relevant to my own projects. Thanks for your feedback, despite the
fact I never asked.

In addition, removing all but one onClick (I left onClick in the <TR>
containing the inner table) - the same exact thing happens.. the TR
just grows every time its clicked.

Depends on your definition of "perfectly fine." Trust me. You don't want
tables for this and of course, tables are what are causing you trouble at
the moment. Try writing it without tables first. Then add the scripting to
hide/show elements. Trust me.

You did ask. You asked me to wade through that whole mess to find your
problem. I advised you after wading through it that it was a mess, which
makes it harder to identify and fix your problems. That's relevant isn't
it?

Post an abbreviated sample. I don't have time to read through that thing
again.
