when I use this javascript:

function inView(num){
if (num==1){
show('existing');
hide('new');
}
else
show('new');
hide('existing');
}

function show(object) {
if (document.layers && document.layers[object] != null)
document.layers[object].visibility='visible';
else if (document.all)
document.all[object].style.visibility='visible';
}

function hide(object) {
if (document.layers && document.layers[object] != null)
document.layers[object].visibility='hidden';
else if (document.all)
document.all[object].style.visibility='hidden';
}

The 'new' layer is shown and the existing is hidden. BUT when I try to show the 'existing' layer, it doesn't show, but the 'new layer goes away.

this is some html that calls it:

<center>
<input type=button value="Use NEW Library" onClick="inView(2);">
<input type=button value="Use EXISTING Library" onClick="inView(1);">

this is how I made the layers:
<DIV id="existing" style="position:absolute; left:10px; top:300px; width:100%; height:1000; visibility:visible">

<DIV id="new" style="position:absolute; left:10px; top:300px; width:100%; height:200px; visibility: hidden">

Please HELP!!!

Here is a script I put together. It's essentially like yours but this works:

<html>
<head>
<title>Hide/Show Multiple Layer Script</title>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:void(null);" onClick="show(myText01);">Show Text 01</a><br>
<a href="javascript:void(null);" onClick="hide(myText01);">Hide Text 01</a><br>
<br>
<a href="javascript:void(null);" onClick="show(myText02);">Show Text 02</a><br>
<a href="javascript:void(null);" onClick="hide(myText02);">Hide Text 02</a><br>

<div id="myText01" style="position:relative;visibility:visible">
<h1>Here is some text</h1>
</div>

<div id="myText02" style="position:relative;visibility:visible">
<h1>Here is some more text</h1>
</div>

</body>
</html>
